Two people are reported to have died at shooting at a school in the US, just one day after the start of the school year.
US police and ambulances rushed to a high school in Georgia on Wednesday (US time) after reports of an active shooter and possible injuries, with students evacuated from the scene.
The Apalachee High School in Barrow County, east of Atlanta, sent a message to parents saying it was “currently in a hard lockdown after reports of gunfire,” according to US media.
“Law enforcement is here. Please do not attempt to come to the school at this time while officers work to secure the area,” it added.
The local sheriff’s office reported an “active shooter situation”.
NBC News has reported that a suspect is now in custody.
