A Maryland school is reopening two weeks after two students were shot on campus.

Students returned to Great Mills High School in Saint Mary's County.

This is the first time the campus has been open since the shooting on March 20th, where 16-year-old Jaelynn Williams was shot and killed by fellow student Austin Rollins.

That same bullet that hit Williams also struck 14 year old Desmond Barnes in the leg. 
Rollins later turned the gun on himself.

Tuesday, parents and supporters stood outside Great Mills High welcoming all back to campus.

Students were also greeted by county deputies and therapy dogs.

Saint Mary’s school officials and local law enforcement say they are now focusing on returning back to routine.

Many parents say they will do the same thing back at home.
