Myles Kanipes, son of Sante Fe High School athletic director and football team head coach Mark Kanipes, told CNN that his dad is on lockdown on campus, but is otherwise safe.

“He is fine but he said it’s crazy (right now) but would call me once he finds out more. All I know is someone pulled the fire alarm and once everyone got out the classes someone started shooting. His secretary is the one who first heard the shooting, the shooter was in the art class,” Myles Kanipes said.

After the shooting started, a group of students were directed to empty their backpacks in a field.

Meanwhile, at least three helicopters were seen waiting in the school’s parking lot.
