RENO, Nev. (CBS / AP) – A campus police officer shot a knife-wielding Nevada high school student who was fighting with a classmate Wednesday, according to authorities and a student.

At Hug High School, Reno police Officer Tim Broadway told reporters that one person was taken to a hospital with unspecified injuries and the campus remained locked down, "but the kids are safe."

`'There is not an active shooter," Broadway said.

Nevada Department of Public Safety Director James Wright told The Associated Press that a 16-year-old was taken to Renown Hospital Medical Center in Reno after he was shot by a campus police officer.

Neither Wright nor Broadway knew the extent of the teen's injuries, and a hospital spokeswoman didn't immediately respond to requests for information.

Wright said the officer wasn't injured.

A student, Robert Barragan, told the Reno Gazette-Journal that two male students were fighting outside the school library when one pulled a knife and stabbed the other before a police officer shot the knife-wielding student in the shoulder.

But a Washoe County School District spokeswoman told the Gazette-Journal that only one person was injured.

The shooting was reported about 11:30 a.m. at the school on the city's north side a few blocks from U.S. Highway 395.

The district issued a statement before 1 p.m. calling the campus "currently stable and secure with heavy police presence."

Broadway said students would be released later in the day, and parents were directed to a staging area.

Hug High opened in 1968 and is named for Proctor Ralph Hug Jr., a former teacher, athletic coach and Washoe County School superintendent who served as a state senator and a federal judge.
