Hume said the victim was still walking when officers responded, and no description of the suspect or suspects had been provided as of 9 p.m.
Police cruisers lined the front of the school as students and gamegoers left the gymnasium after the conclusion of a basketball game against Greenwich High School. Police cordoned off the south exit of the front side of the building.
The father of a Brien McMahon student said he was in the hallway near the exit when he heard a single gunshot but that he did not see any suspects. He also said the victim was in his early 20s and may have been related to a coach at the high school.
