A shooting at a high school in Georgia, United States, left one ninth-grade student injured after a verbal argument escalated into a physical fight inside a school bathroom. Police said another ninth-grade student allegedly brandished a firearm, shot the victim and fled the school on foot.

The injured student was rushed to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries after a school resource deputy provided immediate medical assistance. The teenage suspect was arrested about an hour later in a nearby neighbourhood.

The school is expected to remain closed to students as authorities continue their investigation, while counsellors have been made available to support students and staff.

In a separate incident in Minnesota, police are investigating a deadly shooting at a home daycare in Hopkins that left a woman and her seven-year-old daughter dead. The suspect, a 41-year-old man, also died by suicide. Authorities are examining possible links to another killing involving a 78-year-old relative.

Georgia High School Shooting: Student Injured, Teen Suspect Arrested After Bathroom Fight Escalates

Thailand is grappling with one of its deadliest school shootings in years after a 14-year-old student opened fire at a school in Nonthaburi province near Bangkok. CCTV footage reportedly shows the teenager firing at classmates at Deepsin Nonthaburi School.

At least nine people have been killed, including school staff and a 12-year-old girl, while more than 30 people were injured. The teenager later died after shooting himself. Authorities are also investigating reports that he allegedly killed his grandparents before going to the school.

Police are investigating how the teenager accessed a registered handgun belonging to his grandfather, while a large quantity of ammunition was reportedly found in his school bag. Investigators are examining his online activity, relationships, possible bullying and reports that he had researched an American school shooting case.

Thailand School Shooting | 14-Year-Old Gunman Kills 9, Injures 30+ | Calls Grow for Tighter Gun Laws

Texas&nbsp;Governor Greg Abbott is set to begin a three-day series of discussions with educators and law enforcement officials on improving&nbsp;school&nbsp;safety&nbsp;on Tuesday, days&nbsp;after&nbsp;a teenager killed 10 people at a Houston-area high&nbsp;school.

Abbott will meet with two dozen people, including supporters and opponents of arming teachers, following the fourth-deadliest US&nbsp;school&nbsp;shooting&nbsp;this year at Santa Fe High&nbsp;School&nbsp;in Santa Fe, Texas&nbsp;on Friday.

"I am seeking the best solutions to make our&nbsp;schools more secure and to keep our communities safe," he said in a statement. "I look forward to hearing from all sides of the debate, and from expert perspectives on these issues."

Abbott, a Republican, has vowed that any changes to state laws would "protect Second Amendment rights."

The Second Amendment of the US&nbsp;Constitution enshrines the right to bear arms. Gun rights proponents say it prohibits regulations on gun ownership and that enforcement of existing laws should be sufficient to stop violent incidents like the one in Santa Fe.

Gun control groups point to the regular toll of&nbsp;shootings across the United States as evidence that more needs to be done to rein in the proliferation of weapons.

The US&nbsp;Supreme Court has avoided major gun cases for a number of years, leaving in place restrictions on guns enacted by some states.

In contrast to Florida, where the killing of 17 teens and educators in February sparked a youth-led movement calling for new restrictions on gun ownership, the&nbsp;Texas&nbsp;tragedy saw elected officials and survivors alike voicing support for gun rights.

Some gun rights proponents in&nbsp;Texas&nbsp;have embraced the idea of arming teachers, a strategy advocated by the National Rifle Association and US&nbsp;President Donald Trump. That solution is largely rejected by survivors and parents in Parkland, Florida,&nbsp;after&nbsp;the carnage there.

Police arrested Dimitrios Pagourtzis, 17, at the Santa Fe&nbsp;school&nbsp;following the rampage they said he committed with a shotgun and .38-caliber pistol. He is charged with capital murder of 10 people - eight students and two teachers.

Police said Pagourtzis confessed to Friday's killings&nbsp;after&nbsp;he was taken into custody, but they have offered no motive yet for the&nbsp;massacre.

He is being held without bond, on suicide watch, at the Galveston County Jail in nearby Galveston, Sheriff Henry Trochesset said.

Pagourtzis' family said in a statement it was "saddened and dismayed" by the&nbsp;shooting.

Texas mulls school safety days after mass shooting

U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday called for healing and peace one day after a gunman killed at least 17 people at a Florida high school, saying his administration would work to improve school safety and address mental illness.

Trump said he was making plans to meet with families in Parkland, Florida.

In televised remarks from the White House, Trump, who has an 11-year-old son, said he wanted to address America&#39;s children with the message they are &quot;never alone and you never will be.&quot;

&quot;You have people who care about you, who love you, and who will do anything at all to protect you,&quot; he said.

Democrats have said the shooting underscores the need for tougher gun laws, but Trump did not mention the issue in his brief address, delivered from the White House.

He said he would make school safety the top priority when he meets with governors and state attorneys general later this month.

&quot;We must also work together to create a culture in our country that embraces the dignity of life, that creates deep and meaningful human connections,&quot; Trump said, urging children who feel scared or alone to reach out to trusted adults for help.

&quot;We are here for you, whatever you need, whatever we can do to ease your pain,&quot; he said.
