Des Moines, IA (AP) — Authorities say one teenager has been killed and two others were critically wounded in a shooting outside an Iowa school.

Des Moines police said in a news release that gunfire that struck the victims on the grounds of East High School in Des Moines appeared to come from a passing vehicle. The school was initially locked down but students were later allowed to go home.

Police didn’t identify those shot but said a 15-year-old male had died. He was not a student at East. The other two shot were females aged 16 and 18, who both attend East. They were hospitalized in critical condition.

A motive for the shooting was not immediately released.
