A school shooting at a high school in Marysville, Washington, about 35 miles from Seattle, has reportedly taken place today, but appears to have ended.
The shooter is reportedly dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police sources told the Seattle Times, in the incident at Marysville-Pilchuck High School.
Local news stations are reporting that several people have been injured, but police, who responded to calls of shots being fired, have not confirmed.
A nurse at Providence Regional Hospital told a CBS News affiliate that three patients were brought in with gunshot wounds and a fourth is expected.
One reportedly sustained a gunshot wound to the head.
The school is in lockdown, according to KIRO 7 TV.
Three students and a teacher reported gunshots, according to the TV station. The gunman reportedly stood on a table in the cafeteria and opened fire.
A large police response to the reported shooting was dispatched immediately, while Marysville School District released the following statement:
"The Marysville Pilchuck High School is currently in lock down due to an emergency situation. Police and emergency services have responded."
"The Marysville School District lock down procedures will remain in effect at Marysville Pilchuck until further notice from law enforcement."
