Two students and one teacher were shot Wednesday at an elementary school in Townville, South Carolina, after a teenager opened fire, officials said.
A teenage suspect was taken into custody and authorities said they do not believe anyone else was involved.
The shooting occurred around 1 p.m., an Anderson County sheriff's deputy told local news station WYFF.
The teacher and two children were taken to a nearby hospital. One of the students' injuries did not appear life-threatening, but the status of the other victims was not immediately known, officials said.
The Anderson County coroner also reported that a death on a small, gravel road behind the school was connected to the shooting, but did not specify how, or who it was.

Students were evacuated to Oakdale Baptist Church, where parents were told to come pick them up.
One parent told WYFF that her daughter and her classmates went to the bathroom as shots rang out.
"All the kids were crying, the teacher was all shaken up," she said in tears. "It's just so sad."
