Teen held in Texas school shooting that left 1 dead, 1 hurt

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — A lawyer says a 15-year-old arrested in a fatal shooting outside a Dallas-area high school will remain in custody. The shooting Monday on a high school campus in the suburb of Arlington left one student dead and another injured. The early-morning gunfire prompted officials at Lamar High School to lock the building down for hours, although police said they arrested a student on a capitol murder charge within minutes. A lawyer for the boy accused of the shooting says a judge on Tuesday found there was probable cause for the teen’s arrest and ordered he remain at a juvenile detention facility.
