One suspect is reportedly in custody following the incident, and authorities are working to get more information about this individual.
“Reports of ‘active shooter’ at elementary school in DeKalb County, GA, kids being evacuated,” says a tweet from the New York Post.
Scary pictures are coming forward of the kids running out of the elementary school. The kids are gathered outside the school, near the buses in the parking lot, following a quick evacuation. The kids have not left the scene, though some are expected to evacuate to nearby stores. The children’s’ parents are also responding to the scene.
No one was injured in the reported shooting, CNN reported.
The children have been trained to deal with emergency incidents like this, in light of past school shootings like the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Connecticut, reports CNN. The quick thinking among the faculty, staff, and students likely prevented this escalating.
