A 14-year-old male student was shot in the head, near the back of the neck, in a violent outbreak at an Atlanta public school on Thursday around 1:50pm. 

The shooting occurred at the Price Middle School, in southwest Atlanta. A teacher also suffered minor injuries in the violence but was not shot. 

Atlanta Police have taken one suspect, another student, into custody.

The school was put on lock down and parents anxiously waited outside the school.

The students were going to be transported, via school buses, to a nearby Baptist church. Parents were told to pick up their children at the church parking lot.
