Sheriff’s officials say that a Harrison County High School student shot his girlfriend and then himself.
Sheriff’s officials originally told LEX 18 that the student, 18-year-old Emery Collins, was dead. His family has reached out to LEX 18 saying he is still alive.
Officials tell LEX 18 that the two left school and Collins was driving with his girlfriend to pick up supplies for a project. At some point, they say Collins shot her and then himself. Witnesses say his car went off the road, up a hill, passed by multiple trees and struck the corner of a home off Ruddles Mill Road.

The woman inside the house was not injured but had been in her yard just minutes before the crash occurred.
Both Collins and his girlfriend are students at Harrison County High School. The 17-year-old girlfriend has been rushed into surgery.
