Omaha School Shooting - A high school student who was the son of a police detective shot two school officials at Millard South High School in Omaha today and then shot himself, police said. The shooter was identified as Robert Butler Jr., son of Omaha Police Det. Robert Butler. He was a senior at the school. The two people wounded in the shooting were the principal, Curtis Case, and an assistant principal, Vicki Kaspar. Kaspar is in critical condition and Case is in stable but serious condition at Creighton University Hospital, according to the hospital. 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. Omaha School Shooting
