A high school student at a Cleburne County school shot and killed himself in the restroom of the school’s cafeteria, school officials told a Little Rock television station Wednesday.

The school’s superintendent told content partner KARK and reporter Mitch McCoy that a high school student shot and killed himself in a cafeteria restroom.

The superintendent also said no other students were present, KARK reported.

During a 5 p.m. press conference, authorities said the student was a 14-year-old, 8th grader at the school.

Concord Police Chief Willie Baker said at the press conference that it appears to be an isolated incident and that the student’s body will be sent to the Arkansas State Crime Lab for an autopsy.

Baker said the investigation into the incident is still ongoing.

Earlier on Wednesday, Superintendent Michael Davidson discussed with Region 8 News the details of what happened.

Around lunchtime, Davidson said a custodian heard a gunshot in the restroom.

The custodian called 911 and then contacted the school’s resource officers about what happened.

The school’s SRO’s then went inside the restroom and found a deceased student, Davidson said.

Multiple agencies were at the scene of the Concord school in Cleburne County due to the shooting, according to a Facebook post by the Cleburne County Sheriff’s Office.

Classes have also been canceled Thursday and Friday, Davidson said, noting classes will begin again Monday with grief counselors available for all students.

The district has about 450 students in grades K-12, Davidson said.
