A teenager shot and wounded two children and a teacher at an elementary school in Anderson County, South Carolina, before being taken into custody on Wednesday, police said at a news conference.
The shooting at Townville Elementary School, located near the Georgia state line and about 100 miles (160 km) northeast of Atlanta, was reported just after 2 p.m.
The incident drew a large police response and prompted an evacuation of the school, according to video from the scene.
