A 13-year-old boy was injured Thursday morning in a shooting at a Memphis, Tennessee elementary school. Police locked down the building and took the suspected shooter, another student, into custody later in the day, according to the Memphis Police Department.
Police from four Memphis stations responded to an active shooter call at Cummings Elementary around 9:15 a.m., where they discovered a 13-year-old who had been shot. The boy was transported to Memphis' Le Bonheur Children's Hospital where he remains in stable but critical condition.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of this student and the student," Jerica Phillips, a spokesperson for Shelby County schools, said in a news conference Thursday. Phillips added that the school had recently completed its active shooter drill on September 2.
