Teen Shot At Atascocita High School Was Buying Drugs, Police Said

ATASCOCITA, TX — An Atascocita High School student who was shot in the school parking lot Thursday night was trying to buy marijuana from another student, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said Friday. The shooting happened at about 6:30 p.m. in the school parking lot, police said.

Officials placed the campus on lock down to protect the 85 students who were on the campus for after school activities.

Witnesses told police that the victim and Mikael Necciosup were arguing in the parking lot when Necciosup allegedly pulled a gun and shot at the teen.
