CNN now reports that at least two people are dead.

At least two people were killed in the shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, on Wednesday, a law enforcement source briefed on the latest from the scene told CNN.

One person is in custody, according to a statement from the Barrow County Sheriff’s Office.

More from USA Today:

All schools throughout Barrow County went into lockdown as a “precautionary measure,” the sheriff’s office said Wednesday morning around 11:30 a.m. ET.

The sheriff’s office did not give additional details about the situation but said more information would be shared soon as deputies are currently on the scene.

According to the Athens Banner-Herald, part of the USA TODAY Network, the school sent a message to parents at 10:45 a.m. local time stating, ‘Apalachee High School is currently in a hard lockdown after reports of gunfire. Law enforcement is here. Please do not attempt to come to the school at this time while officers work to secure the area.’

Whether or not we learn more details on the suspect will sadly come down to the suspect’s ethnicity, sex, and ideology that drove them to violence. Sheriff Judd Smith said the authorities wanted to get their facts together before sharing further details.

As President Biden has been briefed on the situation, I’m sure his speech writers are coming up with a political angle as we speak.
