A tragic incident recently unfolded at the Perry High School where the shooter has been reported dead, according to law enforcement sources.

Initial reports from a first responder suggested a "male subject down in the hallway — appears to be self-inflicted," with indications of other victims.

The responder confirmed the subject's demise. Dallas County Sheriff Adam Infante, while speaking on the shooter's identification, withheld further details on their condition, promising more information in a subsequent update.

The sheriff added that there were "very few students and faculty" during the incident, "which contributed to a good outcome in that sense."

He noted that there is no longer any threat to the small community and that they have identified the shooter, who is suspected to be a student of the high school.

"The community is safe. We are now working backwards, to see what happened," the sheriff noted.

Today marked the first day back for the 1,785 students enrolled in the Perry Community School District following their winter break. Right now, per the Daily Mail, the high school is on lockdown.

A student at the school opened up about the shocking incident, noting that he and his pals thought the "loud bangs" were part of a prank initially before a teacher at the school began screaming at students to "leave, leave, leave."

He said," 'I heard a couple of bangs, they weren't loud. We saw loads of people run out. We thought it was a prank or something. We didn't think it was real at first."

Per the Daily Mail, Erica Jolliff, a parent, stated that her daughter, a ninth grader, recalled getting rushed from the school grounds at 7.45 am. The scared parent was still looking for her son, a sixth grader, at 1 am.

She said, "I just want to know that he's safe and OK. They won't tell me nothing."
