The shooting at Central High School was reported to police at about 8:10 Thursday morning.

Police spokesman Darryl DeBusk says police took a suspect into custody six minutes later near the school and recovered the gun.

A 16-year-old student was wounded and taken to a local hospital. There was no immediate word on his condition.

The school was placed on lockdown after the shooting. School officials were preparing to release students one classroom at a time, then bus them to a church so they could be picked up by their parents.
