In the 7th grade hallway (700th wing) of Tanglewood Middle School at approximately 12:30pm, the shooter shot 12-year-old Jamari Cortez Bonaparte Jackson.[1][2][5] He was hospitalized, but later died.[2] Nearly 100 deputies responded to the shooting, the Greenville County Sheriff's Office reported.[3] The male shooter fled the scene immediately after shooting Jamari and was found hiding under a house deck at a nearby residence on Easley Bridge Road at approximately 1:30pm by police.[3][6] At 2:20pm, about 2 hours after the shooting, the school district released a statement which said "law enforcement has confirmed that the suspect is in custody, and they are not looking for any additional suspects."[5]
