Thomas S. Wootton High School in Maryland was placed under lockdown after a person was shot on Monday.
The Montgomery County Department of Police confirmed the shooting occurred inside the school shortly after 2 p.m. with a single confirmed victim, citing preliminary information. All roads to the school were shut down, and parents were originally urged to head to the nearby Robert Frost Middle School for reunification with their children, but this plan was soon canceled for unknown reasons.
At 3:23 p.m., police said they had one person in custody.

“All students who ride a bus will take their regular routes home. Parents of bus riders are asked not to come to the school. Reunification for non-bus riders will be shared shortly,” a police statement said soon after.
The Washington Examiner reached out to Thomas Wootton High School for comment and further information.
