A group of young men from “out of town” approached the school, after it had let out for the day, went inside the gym and got into an argument with students inside.
Williams was in the middle of trying to break up the fight when he was punched in the face and shot in the stomach.
Other suspects, who have not been named, are also being sought in the attack.
Williams is in an area hospital recovering from the wound.
