Dallas police have arrested a 14-year-old in the fatal shooting of a Lake Highlands High School student. LHHS junior Dadrien Harrison was killed last week, less than a mile from campus.
Officials have not identified the shooter by name or said whether he also attends LHHS. They have not revealed a motive for the killing or shared whether the shooter knew the victim.
Officers responded Feb. 28 at about 5:40 p.m. to reports of a shooting in the 7300 block of Skillman, between Church and Walnut Hill. The victim died at the hospital.
LHHS Principal Kerri Jones quickly emailed a note to parents, explaining that metal detectors would be used at school entrances “as a precaution.”
Following Saturday’s arrest, metal detectors were not used at LHHS this morning/Monday.
