A shooting was reported on Tuesday afternoon at an elementary school in Decatur, Ga., according to school officials.

A suspect was in custody, DeKalb County School district spokesperson Quinn Hudson told local NBC News affiliate WXIA. All of the students, faculty, and staff have been accounted for at the school of about 600 students, Hudson said.

Police responded to a call reporting that shots had been fired at the Ronald McNair Discovery Learning Academy not far from Atlanta, WXIA reported.

No one was injured in the incident, Hudson said.

DeKalb County Schools told NBC News that the police chief was on scene after the report of gunshots.

Students were evacuated from the school building, and helicopter footage from overhead showed students outside the building and sitting in an adjacent field.
