The suspect in the shooting

No students were injured in the shooting.  The school released a statement that the students are safe now.

Update: Fox 40 has more on the event:

Tensions are rising between officers on scene and parents of kids at Schnell as information keeps changing about where the kids are, and will be going. Parents are telling FOX40 they did not receive a phone call from the school about Wednesday's shooting.

Officers have decided to bus children and faculty to the El Dorado Fairgrounds, like originally planned. Some authorities had said they were being sent to the Mountain- Democrat, but that is no longer the case.

Students at Sierra and Markham Schools will be released later this afternoon. All students are safe at this time. 

A command post is being set up on El Dorado Trail near the school. There will be a press conference at 2 p.m. with an update from authorities on what happened Wednesday morning.
