A shooting at a Maryland high school caused injuries Tuesday morning, and the campus was on lockdown as deputies and federal agents converged on the crime scene. St. Mary's County Sheriff Tim Cameron said a student shot another student in a hallway, according to Southern Maryland Radio News.

 

A school resource officer exchanged shots with the shooter, the sheriff said. The shooter and the injured student were in critical condition. Another injured student was listed in critical but stable condition.

 

The county sheriff said deputies were on the scene and told parents or guardians to stay away, urging them to go instead to Forrest Technology Center in Leonardtown to reunite with Great Mills students there. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives tweeted that its agents are going to the scene. FBI agents were also responding to the school.

 

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan and Rep. Steny Hoyer tweeted that they're monitoring reports and urged people to follow the instructions of local law enforcement at the scene.
