They were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. At least two other people were injured in connection with the shooting and taken to a hospital, Drew said. One person had a sprained or broken arm and one person with asthma had breathing issues, he said. A fifth person may have gone directly to a hospital, he added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Police recovered a gun at the scene and have found key evidence that Drew said he\u2019s shared with Newport News Commonwealth\u2019s Attorney Howard Gwynn.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The suspected shooter, whom police described as a juvenile, was arrested a few hours later away from the school, Drew said. Police haven\u2019t said whether he\u2019s a Heritage student or how he was apprehended. Police believe &#8220;there was some type of altercation,&#8221; he added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, the FBI and state and local police were searching the school for any students or staff still taking shelter, Drew said. Students were evacuated and sent to nearby tennis courts, where parents were being instructed to meet them. Mental health counselors were on the scene.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_22416\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22416\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vosa.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Picture1-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-22416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vosa.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Picture1-3-300x196.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vosa.tv\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Picture1-3-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vosa.tv\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Picture1-3-768x502.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.vosa.tv\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Picture1-3.jpg 826w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-22416\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy:<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Web Desk: According to Associated Press, Two 17-years-old students, a boy, and a girl were shot Monday morning at Heritage High School, in Newport News, Virginia.
