2014 school shooting
On January 14, 2014, at about 8:10 am, a student opened fire inside the gymnasium of Berrendo Middle School. The suspect then surrendered to a staff member and was taken into police custody. A 12-year-old[5] student and a 13-year-old student were both airlifted to a hospital in Lubbock, Texas, in critical condition. The suspected shooter was a seventh-grade 12-year-old student at the school named Mason Campbell, who used a shotgun that was smuggled into the school inside a duffle bag.[6] Campbell faced three counts of aggravated battery with a firearm, and potential confinement in a juvenile detention facility until 21 years of age.[7][8][9] In 2015, Campbell received the maximum sentence.[10]
