Within minutes, a 21 year old male pulled a pistol and fired several rounds, striking one boy, aged 16 in his head as he was running away. It is not know if he was involved in the initial altercation.
Another bullet went into the window of a passing car and struck the driver in his head. The car, traveling on Ryan Avenue at Rowland Street was operated by a 65 year old male with no passengers. He crashed his car through the fence in front of the school. He later died from his injuries. 
This shooting happened during the dismissal of school for the day. There were two plainclothes police at the school that witnessed the scene and took action, quickly disarming the shooter and placing him under arrest. His name has not yet been released.
