A shooting in a downtown high school on Wednesday, led to five people being taken to a hospital, the mayor said.
Mayor Frank Jackson said three young people and two adults were hurt. SuccessTech Academy had been secured and there was only one suspect, he said.
"They have the shooter," Jackson said. He did not elaborate.
Ronnell Jackson, 15, said he saw the shooter running down a school hallway.
"He was about to shoot me but I got out just in time," he said.
Another student, Doneisha LeVert, said she heard the principal say "Code Blue" over the public address system, and the students started running. She said she hid in a closet with some of her friends.
Students stood outside the building, many in tears and on cell phones. Family members also stood outside, anxiously waiting for their children to be released.
"I'm scared. I'm hoping no more people got hurt," Jackson said.
