(CNN) -- A student was shot in the shoulder after a suspect fired eight shots toward a Hillsborough, North Carolina, high school, police told a local television station.
According to WTVD-TV, Orange County deputies have the suspect in custody.
The male suspect drove to Orange High School about 1 p.m. ET and didn't stop for school security, WTVD reported. He got out of his vehicle and fired the shots, striking the female student in the shoulder.
Another male student was injured by broken glass, the television station reported.
Another television station, News 14, said two guns were lying on the ground outside a gray minivan in the parking lot. One appeared to be a shotgun, the other a rifle, the station reported.
Orange High School and nearby Stanford Middle School are both on lockdown, and parents were not being allowed at the schools, according to WTVD.
Hillsborough is located about 45 miles northwest of Raleigh, North Carolina.
Orange High has 1,009 students in grades nine through 12, the school Web site states.
