A suspect was in custody after at least four people were killed and nine were wounded in a shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, on Wednesday, September 4, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI).

Footage captured by 15-year-old sophomore Alexsandra Romero, who was sheltering with others inside a classroom, shows the moment police officers entered the room and directed them down a corridor toward an exit.

Romero told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that she initially “thought it was just a drill.” Once people learned the shooting was genuine, however, people began crying and “everybody was trying to find their siblings.” Romero added that she saw blood and firearms on the floor as police were shepherding students out of the building.

Authorities said details about the victims would be released later in the day, according to local reports.
