1 injured, 1 in custody after 'intentional' shooting at Ocala high school

Deputies have a suspect in custody after a reported school shooting at an Ocala high school.

According to the Ocala Star-Banner, a 17-year-old student was shot in the ankle by a 19-year-old man at Forest High School. The injured high-schooler has been taken to a local hospital, according to the Marion County Sheriff's Office.

"(The) suspect is in custody, at this time we have one person injured and they are being treated by medics," deputies announced.

During a news conference, Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods said the shooting was "intentional." A witness told the Ocala Star-Banner that the man fired his gun at a close classroom door from the hallway outside.

A photo taken inside one of the classrooms at Forest High during the shooting depicts a makeshift barricade in front of the door. The jumbled pile consisted of desks, cabinets and chairs.

Multiple law enforcement agencies, including the local sheriff's office, the Ocala Police Department and the FBI reportedly responded to the scene.
