Law enforcement sources told The Seattle Times the shooter, who was a student, is dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The paper also confirms a second student was killed in the shooting. 

According to KIRO, four people have been transported to a local hospital with gunshot wounds, three of whom are in critical condition.

It's still not clear if the student acted alone, but a police spokesman told reporters authorities are confident there was only one shooter.

VIA KOMO: "We are confident that there was only one shooter and that the shooter is deceased, but we do need to clear each building and make sure that's the case."

As of press time, the school is still on lockdown and law enforcement is working to clear the school's campus.
