A suspect accused of shooting a student in the arm at Thomas Jefferson High School on Tuesday is in custody, Dallas ISD officials confirmed Thursday.

Bob Romano was standing in a parking lot at Thomas Jefferson High School when the gunshot rang out.

By the time the pair saw the wounded student for themselves, a parent had already taken their belt off to use as a tourniquet, according to Romano, hoping to stop the bleeding. The student, who was struck in the arm, was going in and out of consciousness, so while Romano called 911, Velazquez said he did his best to keep the student engaged and alert.

The injured student, whose identity has not been released publicly, is expected to make a full recovery, and district officials have repeatedly credited three staff members for their prompt response, including Romano, Velazquez and Brandi Elder, the school’s assistant athletic coordinator.

We shouldn't accept or normalize the explosion of violent crimes being committed by black men/teens. Romano might want to check the stats. 60% of the violent crime arrestees in Dallas this year have been black men.

Arrest made in Thomas Jefferson High School shootingThe person who shot a student in the parking lot at Thomas Jefferson High School in Northwest Dallas on Tuesday has been arrested, Dallas ISD announced late Wednesday night. Post the name and pic of the shooter. There’s a culture in America that has no respect for rules, decency, elders, authority, and even life. It, and the fear of it, are a driving force in our society. We need to fix it. I motion they change the name of this school. Thomas Jefferson's name deserves a much more dignified school and is probably unappreciated there anyway. TuckerCarlson
