In Friday's officer-involved fatal shooting at Carolina Forest High School in Conway, S.C., a 16-year-old reportedly attacked school resource officer Lance Corp. Marcus Rhodes, with two knives.
Authorities said Trevor Varinecz, a high school junior, came to school at 8:20 a.m. Friday and asked to talk to Rhodes. They went into Rhodes' office inside the school's F building, which houses the math and science classrooms, and closed the door.

Friday's fatal shooting was the first incident in which an S.C. school officer has killed a student on campus, officials said.
