Police were investigating a reported shooting Tuesday afternoon at Wilmer-Hutchins High School in Dallas, a department spokeswoman confirmed to The Dallas Morning News.
Officers were dispatched about 1 p.m. to the school in the 5500 block of Langdon Road. A police call log showed 19 units at the scene.
No additional information was immediately available, including whether anyone was injured.
Jason Evans, a Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman, said emergency crews were responding to the school and that he was on his way to the scene. He said he would provide additional details later.

One year ago, a student brought a gun to the campus and shot another in the leg.
The Monday after the incident, which occurred in a classroom, students staged a walk out and said they did not feel safe at school. Multiple students said at the time that the school’s metal detectors were not regularly used and the school did not consistently enforce its clear bag policies, both points of frustration.
Dallas schools police chief Albert Martinez later said the district’s policies were not strictly followed.
“In this instance, yes, the metal detector went off, and there wasn’t a challenge. There weren’t the secondary steps that should have happened. And that’s our concern,” Martinez said at the time.
Dallas ISD leaders said at the time they would increase personnel during arrival and dismissal, retrain staff on backpack searches and metal detectors, as well as revamp schedules to make more people available to monitor students.
