AUSTIN, Texas – A 17-year-old Pflugerville high school student is behind bars after allegedly shooting and running over someone in the school’s parking lot.

According to an affidavit reported by KVUE in Austin, the Pflugerville ISD Police Department responded to Connally High School after receiving a 911 call for someone possibly shot and run over in the parking lot.

The victim allegedly told officers he went to campus to meet up with a friend for lunch.

While in the school’s parking lot, authorities said the victim was called over to Vince Nguyen’s vehicle.
