DALTON, GA. – An armed teacher has been arrested after shots were fired at a high school in a small town in northern Georgia.
The Dalton Police Department reported that “shot or shots” had been fired at Dalton High School just after 11:15 a.m. on the department’s official Twitter account.
Minutes later, DPD added that the armed suspect was barricaded inside a classroom at the school and urged parents not to come to the school.
Students were transported to the Northeast Georgia Trade Center for pickup, according to the DPD.
At 11:23 a.m., the department tweeted an update that read “The teacher is in custody.”
No students were harmed, and no children were in danger during the incident, according to the DPD.
This is obviously going to be a fast changing story as more information becomes available, especially in regard to the teacher’s motives and the actual events.
Stay frosty.
