  "textContent": "Classes resumed Tuesday at Wootton High School following Monday’s shooting and an hours‑long lockdown that left a 16‑year‑old hospitalized and another student facing charges.\n\nAs the investigation continues, police say there is no ongoing threat. Still, unanswered questions remain, and for many students and parents, returning to campus is difficult.\n\nIn a letter to families, Montgomery County Public Schools Superintendent Thomas Taylor and Wootton Principal Dr. Joseph Bostic said the school’s full support team is available to help students process their emotions. Families may keep students home Tuesday and Wednesday, with absences excused. Counselors, psychologists, and social workers will remain on campus for the foreseeable future.\n\nREAD MORE: 16-year-old charged after shooting classmate at Wootton High School: police\n\nTwo family meetings are scheduled Tuesday in the Wootton High School auditorium at 3:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. to outline available support and how families can access resources.\n\nOfficers were called to the school just after 2:15 p.m. Monday for reports of shots fired. Inside, they found a 16‑year‑old student who had been shot in a hallway. He was taken to a hospital and is expected to survive.\n\nREAD MORE: No weapon recovered after 16-year-old shot by classmate at Wootton High School\n\nAuthorities say they have recovered a handgun and charged a student in the shooting. Kahlil White‑Villatoro, 16, of Rockville, is charged as an adult with attempted second‑degree murder, multiple counts of assault, and several firearms‑related offenses, including possession of a dangerous weapon on school property.\n\nAs officers searched the building Monday with K‑9 units, students were evacuated and bused to nearby Robert Frost Middle School, where anxious parents waited to be reunited with their children. For many families, that wait stretched late into the evening as the reality of the day set in.\n\nThe investigation remains active.",
