A student shot and injured the principal of a South Dakota high school on Wednesday morning, shortly before the unnamed suspect was tackled to the ground by the assistant principal and athletic coach, according to local reports.
The school's superintendent, James Holbeck, said in a statement that no students were hurt in the shooting, according to the Associated Press.
Sioux Falls Police said the school's assistant principal Ryan Rollinger, who is the assistant football coach at Harrisburg High School, ran to the scene after hearing a gunshot. Together with athletic director Joey Struwe, the men tackled the student, who has since been taken into custody.
The school, located about 10 miles south of Sioux Falls, remains in lockdown as officers from the Harrisburg Police Department and the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department investigate at the scene.
The shooting victim, Kevin Lein, is reportedly in stable condition, Lincoln County State's Attorney Tom Wollman told the Argus Leader.
