A student was shot at a North Carolina high school Monday morning, police said. The police department in Matthews, North Carolina, said another student was taken into custody after the shooting at Butler High School.
The wounded student was transported to a hospital and was in critical condition, the police department said on Facebook. The shooting was believed to be an isolated incident, the police said.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg School District said on Facebook that the weapon had been secured by law enforcement. The school was placed on lockdown, which has since been lifted.

Classes would be held for students remaining on campus, the district said.
