Ethun said the shooting took place in the parking lot of Colonel White, 501 Niagara Ave., shortly after 1 p.m. after the victim, an 18-year-old senior and another student returned from lunch, police said.

The shooting was a carjacking, said David H. Sherrer Sr., of the Dayton Police Department. Police said the shooting occurred when a man approached the student and demanded his new car. The student refused and was shot.

One school official, who said he got a good look at the shooter, said the attacker was not a student.

The gunman fled on foot and police are searching for him.

Officials placed the school under lockdown.
