Two children and a teacher were wounded on Wednesday in a shooting incident at a South Carolina school, according to local authorities.
The suspected shooter was a teenager and was in custody after shooting the three victims at an elementary school in Townville, South Carolina, according to a spokesman for local county's Emergency Management Department.
According to Anderson County Coroner Greg Shore, the authorities were responding to a death "believed to be related" to the school shooting about 1 ? miles away.
Shore also said the students do not appear to have life-threatening injuries.
The suspect was quickly apprehended and is being taken into custody on Wednesday, police said at a news conference.
Due to lax gun control measures, past shooting incidents claimed dozens of lives on campus across the country. In 2012, a heavily armed gunman forced his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, and started a shooting rampage, killing 20 children and six adults. He later killed himself.
