At least two people were killed and at least four were injured after gunfire erupted today at Apalachee High School in Georgia, according to preliminary information from law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation.
The suspect is in custody, the Barrow County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp dispatched state resources to assist local authorities.
Federal law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and ATF, are on the scene in Georgia to assist local authorities in the ongoing probe at Apalachee High School, a "devastated" Attorney General Merrick Garland said.
"We are still gathering information but the FBI and ATF are on the scene, working with state, local and federal partners," Garland told reporters.
"I'm devastated for the families who have been affected by this terrible tragedy. The Justice Department stands ready to provide resources or support the Winder community needs in the days ahead."
WXIA reporters spoke with a neighbor of an Apalachee High School student who rushed to the school and confirmed that the student was safe.
"I'm sure he's devastated," the neighbor said. "He probably doesn't want to finish the rest of the year. His last year, and this is what happens."
The neighbor said that the student heard the shooting and called his mom.
"He's like, 'They're shooting, they're shooting right across from my classroom,'" the neighbor said. "He called his mom devastated, I'm sure."
Sheriff Jud Smith said that schools surrounding Apalachee High School, which were placed on a soft lockdown after reports of the shooting, would release their students soon as families anxiously await reunions with their students.
Smith called the investigation "very active and ever-developing," as officials of numerous sheriff’s offices from across the state of Georgia could be seen on Apalachee’s campus.

Sadly, Another Gun Free Zone.
Filled with sitting ducks. Just in time for the Democrat talking points. Kamala might finally speak.
The FBI and ATF are on the scene? Why?
Let’s make sure we never hear of a motive.
Kamala might finally speak

Another flip flop?
Video clip shows Kamala Harris talking about getting “police officers out of schools.”

Let me guess: either another deranged anti white tranny or yet another son of Obeyme.
Conservative = shooter’s fault
Liberal = gun’s fault
Started 9 something in the morning.
Fox News guy said “Over three hours later we are not being given any solid information.” They had to milk the little amount they had, which is always dangerous to the truth.
They quickly stopped saying there may have been two sides of angry types shooting at each other in the school.
Example: One news reporter now saying the “casualties” are said by bystanders to be mostly from the stampede to leave the school in panic. Broken bones and other.
Why wouldn’t they be? The FBI investigates certain crimes including active shooter incidents, and the ATF investigates violent crimes involving firearms.
is the perp a tranny?
Right now this is a local and state issue.
Breaking: A black woman with a granddaughter at the school district, on the phone to Fox TV is saying she was told “there were past students who no longer are enrolled” and “there was more than one shooter, not just the one taken out.”
Sounds like, IF TRUE, it was two groups of rivals working out a grudge with lives at stake.
Supposedly that was the case with the Chicago train gunman who killed 4 people, not a peep about it in the media, like it NEVER happened
The FBI and ATF are on the scene? Why?
————————————————
Why because they are the key experts in deleting social media posts and scrubbing all evidences that might make their agenda look bad. Somebody has to start the blame rolling on another white kid with guns narrative.
Another Transexual Student Killer?
You’re right. There might also be a manifesto to impound.
Another deranged anti white tranny????
They quickly stopped saying there may have been two sides of angry types shooting at each other in the school.
———————————————————
This to me is a sure sign and indication that it was not a mass murder situation, but two sides shooting at each other.
Sounds like it could be more gang related.
