The suspect has not been apprehended, authorities said at a 4:30 p.m. ET news conference, hours after the shooting was reported around 12 p.m. ET.
All other students are safe and the campus has been secured, according to the sheriff’s office and the Winston-Salem Police Department. Students have been sent to a local YMCA to be reunited with their parents, the sheriff’s office said.
Agents from the FBI and ATF are responding.
Mount Tabor’s school year started just last week.
