Shooter Injures Four at Texas High School; Student Taken into Custody
---------------------------------------------------------------------

A school shooting in Arlington, Texas, Wednesday left four people
injured. The suspect, an 18-year-old student, has been taken into
custody. The attack sparked renewed calls to tighten Texas's gun laws.
Last month, the state's permitless gun law went into effect, which
allows people to carry firearms without a license as long as they have
no priors with state or federal law.
