Multiple law enforcement agencies responded to Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, on Wednesday after reports of a shooting there.
Video from a helicopter operated by Atlanta News First showed at least one person being airlifted from the scene, with multiple other ambulances in the vicinity.
Officials told the outlet that the person being airlifted had been taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, a level 1 trauma center in Atlanta.
One person is in custody, according to the Barrow County Sheriff’s Office. Additional details regarding the amount and extent of injuries were not immediately available.
Approximately 1,900 students attend the school.
A source at a nearby hospital told CNN patients with gunshot wounds had been transferred there for care.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) said in a statement that he’d directed “all available state resources” to the school and was “praying for the safety of those in our classrooms.”
“We will continue to work with local, state, and federal partners as we gather information and further respond to this situation.”
Ciera Roberts, a spokesperson for Barrow County Schools, told HuffPost that all of its schools district-wide are on a soft lockdown and asked parents not to attempt to pick up their children until further notice.
At this time, only parents with children at the high school have been “cleared for reunification.”
