Shaovon, a senior at Great Mills High School in St. Mary's County, Md., told FOX 5 live on the air that she never made it into school Tuesday morning before learning something had happened. She was getting out of her car when other students came running from the school building, screaming and yelling. Shaovon says she immediately got back into her car and called her mom, and another student told her that there had been a shooting. She immediately went home, she says.

"I was just shaking. I didn’t know how to react to that," Shaovon told FOX 5. "It's just crazy that it's happening in our own neighborhood-- in the town where we grew up. It's just crazy to me."

Shaovon was emotional when talking about her school and her principal, explaining that they're like family. It's just not acceptable," she said of the shooting.

 Investigators have identified the teen they say was shot and killed after opening fire, striking two other students. A school resource officer is credited with stopping the shooter within one minute of the time the first shot was fired.
