A student has been shot inside a Maryland high school and a suspect has been detained, police said.
Terrified Thomas S. Wootton High School pupils sheltered in place as the campus was locked down amid the active shooter incident on Monday afternoon.
Montgomery County Police Department officers were dispatched to the school in Rockville, on the outskirts of Washington DC, at around 2.15pm local time.
Around 45 minutes later, the department confirmed that one person had been shot. The victim, later identified as a student, has been transported to hospital and is expected to make a full recovery.
