(CNN)A teenager accused of shooting two students outside a high school prom in Antigo, Wisconsin, has died, police said Sunday.

Police identified the suspect as 18-year-old Jakob Wagner. He used to attend Antigo High School, police Chief Eric Roller said.

The victims, who were shot as they left a building where they had been celebrating prom, suffered injuries that were not life-threatening, according to police. A female victim was treated for a gunshot wound and released, while a male victim was undergoing surgery late Sunday morning.

About 11 p.m. Saturday, Wagner "arrived at the Antigo High School prom with a rifle and began shooting while outside the entrance of the building," the police statement said. Officers who were patrolling the parking lot heard the shots, and one of the officers opened fire on the gunman. Wagner was taken to a nearby hospital, where he died at 1:06 a.m. after doctors attempted lifesaving measures, the statement said.

As Trump says, when bullets fly the other way, the outcome is very different.

I hate it when an 19 year old man is portrayed as a ‘teenager’.

Just call him an attempted murderer and be done with it/

“Why did they bother to ‘save’ him?”

Not enough range time and a supervisor on the scene, probably.

Temple University. Bad neighborhood. A 4th year medical student on the way to his job(emergency room) was robbed at knifepoint. Got a good look at the perp. 3 days later the perp shows up in the emergency room with a knife wound. Guess who the doc-on-duty was?
