A 17-year-old male gunman who shot and injured two students was killed after engaging with an armed school resource officer at a high school in Maryland Tuesday morning, local authorities said.
The incident happened just before 8:00 a.m. local time at Great Mills High School, some 60 miles southeast of Washington, DC.

The shooter was killed during a gunfight with a school resource officer, but the local sheriff's office has yet to determine whether the gunman killed himself or was killed by the safety officer.
Both injured students have been transferred to a local hospital.
The incident came after a deadly shooting took place in a Florida high school last month which left 17 people dead.
