(Reuters) - A North Carolina student was injured and another taken into police custody after shots were fired in an altercation during a fire drill at a high school in Winston-Salem on Friday, authorities said.
Gunfire was reported at 2:30 p.m. EDT at Carver High School as students began to walk back inside the school buildings at the end of a planned fire drill, Winston-Salem Police Chief Barry Rountree said at a press conference.
The student suffered non-life threatening injuries in the incident.
No one else was hurt during the altercation between the students, both of whom were enrolled at Carver, he said.
"We had a school resource officer who was in close proximity and he immediately took the shooter into custody," Rountree said.
