The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said Wednesday that four people were killed and at least nine were injured in a shooting at a high school outside of Atlanta.
Students scrambled for shelter in the football stadium as officers swarmed the campus and parents raced to find out if their children were safe.
A suspect was in custody, authorities said.
“What you see behind us is an evil thing,” Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith said at a brief news conference outside Apalachee High School. He declined to give details about casualties, or about the suspect.
