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.

“One never know, do one?”
“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.”
The usual suspects.
So the new term for gang member thugs is "angry types." ???
is this gang violence?
“President Biden has been briefed by his Homeland Security adviser, Liz Sherwood-Randall, on the shooting, per a senior White House official.”
Biden has been briefed. Finally, a ray of sunshine in a tragic event.
However, has Biden been briefed on the avalanche of rape and murder by the undocumented illegals he has brought into the country?
RE: So the new term for gang member thugs is “angry types.” ???
I try to write in the most accurate way. Not always successful.
Sorry if it was too vague.
Homeowners and apartment renters who fear the gangs extorting money from them may become vigilantes fighting the gangs.
And school may have non gang member victims confronted by one gang.
All would be covered by my term “angry types.”
Don’t worry, I hate and despise the scumbags by any names.
GA is a swing state, and Rats love school shootings.
Further away from the ATL.
The White House is already calling for a ban on ‘assault weapons and more gun control. Within hours. It’s almost like they were waiting for this shooting.
figures. used to be when muslims committed murder they covered it up (still do) but now they have to widen the net of cover up to the tranny!
He said he then witnessed gunpowder,
Huh? I’ve been shooting all my life and I’ve never witnessed gunpowder on the floor unless I spilled it while reloading shells.
The one thing I learned from the article is that the word of the day apparently is “devastated.”
Election year.
Them again Yogi.
Or another teenager on certain medications.
Just a wild guess Kathy, but maybe because the FBI has become widely known as a corrupt organization that attempted to criminally undermine, compromise and overthrow a legitimate presidential candidate, then a standing U.S. president.
fib/DOJ shoved itself right into the incident. Harris was handed a campaign gift.
“GA is a swing state, and Rats love school shootings.”
Bingo!
No.
Much closer to Athens.
