In Dallas, a high school student continues to recover after being shot last week while police try to figure out how someone got a gun into the school.

With extra police on campus, students returned to Wilmer Hutchins High School today following a shooting Friday. Police say a 17-year-old student is in custody, accused of shooting another student in the leg. The victim is recovering.

Police say it was a targeted attack but they are not saying what led to the shooting.

Meanwhile, investigators are trying to figure out how the gun got into the building. Wilmer Hutchins has metal detectors and a clear backpack policy, but the gun was smuggled in any way. In addition to extra security, counselors are also on campus for anyone who needs them.
