Someone opened fire from a car at an Atlanta high school, wounding four students on Wednesday.
The victims were hospitalized and treated for non-life threatening injuries after being shot at the Benjamin E. Mays High School campus parking lot, according to NBC News and FOX 5. The Atlanta Public Schools district said the shooting occurred shortly after dismissal.
"No other students, faculty, or staff were injured," the district said in a statement sent to news media outlets. "The safety and security of our students and staff are paramount."
No arrests have been made.
The district did not provide a description of the shooter's vehicle and the incident is currently being investigated, NBC reported. All school-related events were canceled after the shooting.
The Atlanta Police Department told USA TODAY the school district's own police department is the lead agency investigating the shooting. The Atlanta Public Schools Police Department declined to comment on the shooting.
