Two students and a teacher were injured Thursday morning during an incident at Black Hawk Middle School in Warrenton. Police say a suspect is in custody.
The Warrenton Police Department announced a large police presence at the Kuhl Avenue school at 8:30 a.m., KRCG reported. Police said there was no threat to the public at that time. They also described the scene as still active.
Police accounts reported by KRCG said one student sustained superficial injuries and another was flown to a children's hospital for emergency treatment. Warren County R-III Superintendent Gregg Klinginsmith told FOX 2 that one student was "severely injured" and needed an airlift from the school. The accounts do not establish whether those descriptions refer to the same student.
Officials were working to return students to their parents, FOX 2 reported. KRCG said the investigation remained ongoing.
