11-year-old found shot at Kaufman County elementary school playground; another 11-year-old in custody, police say

An 11-year-old was taken into custody after allegedly shooting another 11-year-old at an elementary school playground in Kaufman County on Sunday evening, police said.

According to the Crandall Police Department, just before 7:30 p.m., officers were called to a shooting in the playground area of Opal Smith Elementary, located in the 3000 block of Fletcher Road.

When officers arrived, an 11-year-old was found suffering from a gunshot wound to the leg. Police said they were treated on scene and then airlifted to a children's hospital in Dallas. 

Police told CBS News Texas the victim was later released and is recovering at home. 

Police said another 11-year-old was taken into custody for the shooting and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and tampering with evidence. According to Crandall PD, the weapon did not come from the suspect's residence, and detectives are still trying to understand where it was obtained.

Investigators determined the incident was isolated between the two juveniles, who knew each other and attended the same school. Crandall PD said there is no danger to school staff or students.

Classes resumed as normal at Opal Smith Elementary on Monday morning.

The investigation into the shooting is ongoing. Mayor David Lindsey called the incident "heartbreaking" and said the city is committed to transparency.
