ATLANTA —Law enforcement is responding to a shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia that took place Wednesday morning.

Four people are dead, including two students and two teachers, and nine have been hospitalized.

“I have directed all available state resources to respond to the incident at Apalachee High School and urge all Georgians to join my family in praying for the safety of those in our classrooms, both in Barrow County and across the state,” Gov. Brian Kemp said in a statement. “We will continue to work with local, state, and federal partners as we gather information and further respond to this situation.”

According to a White House statement, President Joe Biden has been briefed on the shooting by Homeland Security Advisor, Liz Sherwood-Randall, and his administration is in communication with federal, state and local officials.

Georgia Congresswoman Lucy McBath, whose son Jordan Davis was killed by gun violence, said she was praying for families of victims.

“I am praying for the students of Apalachee High School and the community of Winder,” she said in a statement. “I am praying for families across our state and entire country. Too many continue to experience the pain of gun violence. No family should have to go through this.”
