Cleveland - At least four people have shot by a student at the Success Tech Academy in Cleveland, Ohio.

Security officials told WKYC the school building is now secure, and parents were waiting to be reunited with their children.

Police told WKYC they have the suspected shooter "in control."

One student at SuccessTech Academy said she heard the principal say "Code Blue" over the public address system, and the students started running.

Doneisha LeVert said she hid in a closet with some of her friends.

Ronnell Jackson, 15, said he saw a shooter running down the hall and ducked out the door.

"He was about to shoot me but I got out just in time," he said. "He was aiming at me I got out just in time," Jackson said.

The student got into a fight with another student earlier in the week, returned to the school today and fired off shots while walking down the hallway, according to witnesses.

One of the bullets struck a teacher. Four people have been removed by stretchers from the school.

Police officers with guns drawn were running around the downtown high school, WKYC reported. Police shut down several nearby roads because of the shooting according to the AP.
