The Arizona Daily Star reports that the shooting took place Monday at Canyon Del Oro High School in Oro Valley, Ariz.

Police called to the school found Noel Watts, 40, unconscious and bleeding heavily from a leg. Officers performed first aid on Watts until paramedics arrived.

Paramedics continued performing CPR on Watts, but he was pronounced dead on the scene.

Officers found a handgun and a spent cartridge inside Watts' clothing.
