KPRC Houston reports eight to 10 people were killed in the shooting along with multiple others injured, including a police officer.
Video from KPRC's coverage shows law enforcement at the school with the Life Flight helicopter. Several ambulances were parked outside the school and two more medical helicopters landed at the school.
The school has been secured and this is no longer considered an active shooter situation. Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said in a tweet that two people have been taken into custody and that an officer is being treated for injuries.
Students said they thought it was a drill until they heard gunshots. Teachers told them to run from the school. One student told KPRC she and friend ran into the forest nearby for safety and called her mother.
The Santa Fe Independent School District posted this message to its website:
