One student was killed in a shooting at a Seattle high school Tuesday morning, police said. A suspect is in custody.

Officers responded to shots fired inside Ingraham High School just before 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Seattle Police Chief Adrian Diaz said during a briefing. Police found one student with a gunshot wound and provided aid until medics arrived, police said.

Diaz confirmed earlier Tuesday that an unidentified suspect was in police custody. Police did not provide any further information regarding the suspect.

Police were working to identify any witnesses and reuniting students with their families, Diaz said. 

The investigation into the shooting is ongoing.
