A suspect is in custody following a shooting on the campus of a Central Georgia high school on Wednesday afternoon, officials said.
The Houston County Sheriff's Office said that the shooting happened at Warner Robins High School on South Davis Drive.
While details about the shooting remain limited, authorities say that the school is secure and a suspect has been taken into custody.
Two students were transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, officials said.
The incident caused roads surrounding the high school to be shut down while investigators worked at the scene. Houston County Sheriff Matt Moulton asked residents to avoid the area at this time.
"Please avoid the area and use alternate routes to allow first responders to safely perform their duties," he wrote.
Leadership at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, located near the high school, wrote on Facebook that the church has gone on a "code red lockdown," meaning that no one can enter or leave its campus.
