At least four people reported dead and dozens injured in southern state in the latest school shooting to rattle US.
Law enforcement has responded to a shooting at a high school in Georgia, in the southern United States, with reports of at least four people killed.
The news channel CNN quoted an unnamed law enforcement source as saying four people had been killed and dozens injured on Wednesday at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia.
In a press conference shortly afterwards, Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith said he would not be releasing information about the dead or wounded for the time being, calling the situation “very fluid”. He did acknowledge, however, “multiple injuries”.
“Obviously, what you see behind us is an evil thing today,” Smith told reporters.
“I want to give our sympathies to our community, our school system, our kids, our parents, that had to witness this today.”
