Dalton, Ga. • Police officers responded to reports of shots fired inside a Georgia high school on Wednesday, and a teacher who was apparently barricaded in a classroom was taken into custody, authorities said.
Police in Dalton tweeted that no children were ever in danger. A student apparently suffered an ankle injury running inside the school as the building was evacuated.
The incident happened two weeks after a Florida school shooting left 17 students and faculty dead, put the country on edge and ignited a new debate over gun control in America.
Dalton police spokesman Bruce Frazier told The Associated Press that the scene at the school was secure.
