Police say they've taken a suspect into
custody after a shooting in the cafeteria of a Knoxville, Tenn.
high school.

The shooting at Central High School was reported to police at
about 8:10 Thursday morning.

Police spokesman Darryl DeBusk says police took a suspect into
custody six minutes later near the school and recovered the gun.

A 16-year-old student was wounded and taken to a local hospital. He died less than an hour later.

The school was placed on lockdown after the shooting. School
officials were preparing to release students one classroom at a
time, then bus them to a church so they could be picked up by their
parents.
