Spokane, Wash., Sep 14, 2017 \/ 03:45 pm (CNA\/EWTN News<\/a>).- Bishop Thomas Daly of Spokane has urged Christians to pray for the victims of a Sept. 13 high school shooting, in which one student was killed and three others were hospitalized.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to ask that you join me in prayers for all those impacted by the shooting at Freeman High School this morning,\u201d he said in a Sept. 13 statement.<\/p>\n

The high school, which has just over 300 students, is located near Rockford, Washington, about 30 minutes from Spokane.<\/p>\n

Just as classes were starting Wednesday morning, a student opened fire outside of a biology classroom, authorities said. One student \u2013 identified by local media as freshman Sam Strahan \u2013 was killed in the shooting, reportedly as he tried to stop the gunman.<\/p>\n

Authorities said the sole suspect is in custody. They did not release the suspect\u2019s name, although numerous eye witnesses identified the gunman as sophomore Caleb Sharpe, the Spokesman Review reports.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe thank the many first responders who quickly arrived to protect students, take the suspect into custody, and transport victims,\u201d Bishop Daly said.<\/p>\n

School officials locked doors and closed blinds, following emergency protocols. Half an hour later, they evacuated students to the football field.<\/p>\n

Three teenage girls \u2013 Emma Nees, Jordyn Goldsmith and Gracie Jensen \u2013 were sent to the emergency room at Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center, where hospital officials said they are in stable condition.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis senseless act of violence has shaken our community,\u201d Bishop Daly said. \u201cMy sincere prayers are with all Freeman High School parents, students, faculty, and staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Freeman School District announced that school would be canceled on Thursday.<\/p>\n
