Aug 30, 2013: The scene outside Carver High School after reports of shots fired.

A school spokesman says there has been a shooting at a Winston-Salem high school and that a suspect is in custody.

Winston-Salem-Forsyth County Schools spokesman Theo Helm said the shooting occurred at Carver High School Friday afternoon. It is on the city's northeast side.

According to MyFox8.com, one victim sustained a non-life threatening injury. Officials also said one person is in custody.

The incident is the second gun-related incident for the school this year. Back in January, a Carver High student was charged with possession of a weapon on school property after the juvenile brought a gun to school.

Police located the unloaded .22 caliber pistol in a book bag, after the school was placed on lockdown for forty-three minutes, while officers searched for the weapon, MyFox8.com reported.
