The shootout took place just as Geegan was leaving practice for his school's graduation.
One thing that wasn't part of the practice but a big part of the North Forest ceremony on Saturday was an honor the 18-year-old received.
While accepting his diploma, he was recognized on stage for his bravery and honored by outgoing Houston ISD interim superintendent Dr. Grenita Lathan with a special superintendent's scholarship totaling $2,500.
Geegan told Eyewitness News ahead of the commencement that he is attending San Jacinto College, studying either business or nursing.
As for the shooting, HISD police said one person was arrested. The investigation is ongoing.
