Student Shot Near Queens School

A student was shot in the neck near the Queens Career Development School in Jamaica. The 18-year-old had been at a bus stop nearby. There are conflicting reports about whether the school is under lockdown or just heavy police presence.

Witnesses heard a number of shots, and the victim was hit at least once. He was hit in the collarbone and was taken to Jamaica Hospital. So far, one person is in custody, a weapon has been recovered, and the police are searching for two other people.

Regents exams are taking place at the school today, according to NY1, so classes weren't in session. And WABC reports that there are no metal detectors at the school, which has been among the most "persistently dangerous" schools in the state. .
