Detectives are investigating a shooting outside of Miami Northwestern Senior High where a student was grazed by a bullet after school let out Monday, according to authorities.

The unidentified male student was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, said Captain Ignatius Carroll of the Miami Department of Fire-Rescue.

At 2:51 p.m., police responded after receiving a ShotSpotter alert near the school at 925 NW 69th St., said Officer Kiara Delva, a spokeswoman with Miami Police Department. Upon arrival, she added that they found the youth who “appeared to have been grazed by a possible bullet.”

The student had run to a nearby clinic where its staff alerted authorities, Delva said.

No other information was immediately provided.
