Suspect In Custody After Shooting At Florida High School, Sheriff Says | TIME
In a recent incident that has raised significant concern, law enforcement authorities reported a shooting at Forest High School in Ocala, Florida. According to the Marion County Sheriff's Office, a student was shot in the ankle and transported to a local hospital for treatment. Fortunately, the injuries are not life-threatening.
The shooter, also identified as a student at the school, was taken into custody shortly after the incident occurred. The school's security routine was put into action, including a secondary sweep by SWAT teams to ensure no further threats existed and to keep students safe during the lockdown.
This event coincided with nationwide student walkouts protesting against gun violence, marking a call for policy changes in response to these issues.

The video reports provide an overview of the rapid response by law enforcement and detail the initial reactions from students and the community. This situation is a stark reminder of the ongoing challenges surrounding school safety in the U.S.
