Deadly shooting at a high school in America
American media sources reported a deadly shooting in a high school in the state of Georgia.
According to RCO News Agency, according to a statement from the Barrow County Sheriff’s Office, located in the state of Georgia, a suspect has been arrested by local security forces after receiving a report of a shooting at Apalachi High School in Winder, Georgia.
“Casualties have been reported, but no details are available on the number or condition of the injured,” the statement said.
A local hospital source told CNN that a local hospital is accepting patients with gunshot wounds. The local police of the state of Georgia had already announced the dispatch of their forces to this high school.
According to the images released from outside the school, at least five ambulances and a large number of active police forces are present on the university campus. At least one medical helicopter is seen transporting a patient from the scene. Available footage from the scene also shows people walking up to the students as they gather to pray on the football field near the school.
A spokeswoman for the FBI’s Office of Special Agents announced that special agents had been dispatched to the area to assist local police.
Apalachee High School is part of the Barrow County School System. Local officials told CNN that the students had been removed from the school and that parents had been notified to pick them up.
ABC News also reported that Georgia Governor Brian Camp has dispatched all available government resources to help the scene. The governor asked everyone in the state to join his family and Aa in the safety of those in Georgia’s classrooms.
According to the United States Census Bureau, Winder, a town near Atlanta, had a population of about 18,338 in the 2020 census.
