One student was injured in a shooting at New Hanover High School in Wilmington, North Carolina, on Monday, the local NBC affiliate WECT reported.

At this time, the student's injuries are not thought to be life-threatening, Sheriff Ed McMahon said, according to WECT.

A fifteen-year-old has been charged with attempted first-degree murder and taken into custody, WECT reported the New Hanover County Sheriff's Office said.

The high school students were taken to Williston Middle School and later reunited with their parents, according to tweets from the sheriff's office.

"New Hanover High School students and staff have been escorted to Williston Middle School by the Sheriff's Department after a shooting on the campus of New Hanover High School," the school system said on Twitter. "The Sheriff's office has confirmed this is NOT an active shooter situation."

Both Williston Middle School and Gregory Elementary are safe and under a shelter in place order, the school system said, adding that they weren't releasing students to their families yet.
