Omaha School Shooting: Millard South High School Shooter Dead, Son of Police Officer, Say Police

OMAHA, Neb. (CBS/AP/KMTV) Police say Robert Butler Jr., the student who opened fire at Millard South High School in Omaha Wednesday, shot and killed himself after wounding two adults at the school.

His body was found in a car about two miles away.

Butler was a student at Millard High School and the son of an Omaha police officer.

He is believed to have used his father gun in the shootings, according to CBS affiliate KMTV.

Butler had only attended the school for two months, having transferred in November from a high school in Lincoln.

No other students were wounded during the shooting.

Calls to 911 from the school indicate that 4-5 shots had been fired inside the school office. The principal and assistant principal of the school were wounded. Principal Curtis Case was listed in stable condition. Vice Principal Vicki Kaspar was in critical condition, Police Chief Alex Hayes said.

Millard South High School began releasing classrooms one at a time after being locked down, according to CBS affiliate KMTV. Students were receiving counseling before being released to their parents at Divine Shepherd Lutheran Church on Q Street just west of the school.

Students rushed into the school's kitchen when the gunman opened fire. Sixteen-year-old Laura Olson, a junior at Millard, said she was just beginning lunch when the principal rushed into the cafeteria.

"He was like yelling, 'Get in the kitchen! Get in the kitchen!' He was waving his arms. You knew something was wrong and it wasn't a drill," Olson told The Associated Press.

The high school sits on the west side of Omaha, within city limits, and has about 2,100 students.
