Police say one child has been injured and a high school has been evacuated after a report of weapons seen on the campus in Louisville, Kentucky.



Spokeswoman Alicia Smiley says the child at Fern Creek Traditional High School sustained non-life threatening injuries Tuesday. Smiley says a parent is now with the child.

 

Smiley would not say if the child was a student or describe the nature of the injuries, but Fox News reports that a person walked into the school, shot the student, and then fled the scene. Louisville Metro Police told Fox they are actively trying to identify and find the male suspect.



Video from television stations showed police escorting students from the school with their hands over their heads to a nearby softball field.

 

Police cars surrounded the 91-year-old school in the southern part of Louisville.

 

Messages left by The Associated Press for a spokesman for Jefferson County Public Schools and MetroSafe, the city's emergency management department, ere not immediately returned.
