The young girl and male officer were rushed to hospital after the horrific shooting in the music hall at Alpine High School. Five bullets were fired.

Police hunted for two gunmen. It is understood the attacker who shot the pupil was a female student, who has since shot herself dead. It is unclear how old she was.

Emergency services remained at the scene for several hours.

Some 280 youngsters attend the school.

Other schools in the area, east of El Paso, are still on lockdown as the other gunman — understood to be male — remains on the loose.
