Authorities in St. Mary's County, Maryland, say the gunman in last week's school shooting at Great Mills High School killed himself.

According to details released by the St. Mary's County sheriff's office, Rollins parked his auto at 7:50 a.m. and walked through the school's main entrance two minutes later.

Continuing walking through the school, Rollins was confronted by school resource officer Deputy First Class Blaine Gaskill and both their weapons went off simultaneously.

Another call is from a teacher, who says she saw a girl get shot in the hallway, a classmate later identified as 16-year-old Jaelynn Willey, who died late Thursday night after her family removed her from life support. Her funeral is planned for Friday.

A 14-year-old boy was shot in the thigh during the encounter.
