WINDER, United States: At least four people died and nine were wounded in a high school shooting in the US state of Georgia on Wednesday, law enforcement authorities said, with a suspect taken into custody.
After the latest chapter of America´s gun violence crisis, people gathered at a sports field outside Apalachee High School, some forming a circle with their arms linked. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said four people had been killed.
There was no immediate word on a motive. “An additional nine taken to various hospitals with injuries. Suspect in custody and alive.
Reports that the suspect has been ´neutralised´ are inaccurate,” the bureau said in a social media post. Earlier, school authorities were reported to have sent a message to parents saying they were enforcing a “hard lockdown after reports of gunfire.”
