A shooting at a high school in Georgia, United States, left one ninth-grade student injured after a verbal argument escalated into a physical fight inside a school bathroom. Police said another ninth-grade student allegedly brandished a firearm, shot the victim and fled the school on foot.

The injured student was rushed to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries after a school resource deputy provided immediate medical assistance. The teenage suspect was arrested about an hour later in a nearby neighbourhood.

The school is expected to remain closed to students as authorities continue their investigation, while counsellors have been made available to support students and staff.

In a separate incident in Minnesota, police are investigating a deadly shooting at a home daycare in Hopkins that left a woman and her seven-year-old daughter dead. The suspect, a 41-year-old man, also died by suicide. Authorities are examining possible links to another killing involving a 78-year-old relative.

Georgia High School Shooting: Student Injured, Teen Suspect Arrested After Bathroom Fight Escalates

A 14-year-old gunman on Wednesday (Sep 4) killed four people, including two students and two teachers, and wounded nine others during a shooting spree at a high school in the US state of Georgia. The shooter, also a student at the school, had apparently been on the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) radar for over a year for threats to commit a school shooting.

Although a minor, the gunman would be&nbsp;charged with murder and tried as an adult, said the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

The shooting happened near the town of Winder, about 45 miles (72 kilometres) northeast of Atlanta, the state capital.

According to an AFP report, the FBI late on Wednesday revealed that the shooter was brought to its attention more than a year ago. At the time, the county sheriff's office had interviewed the-then 13-year-old suspect and his father. The child had denied the threats, however; he was flagged to the school officials for monitoring.

County sheriff Jud Smith told the press that it was not yet clear if the shooter targeted people specifically or if it was random shooting. Furthermore, the weapon used is yet to be identified.

The shooter was subdued by the school resource officer.

County sheriff smith said that the officer "engaged him".

"The shooter quickly realized that if he did not give up that it would end with an OIS — an officer-involved shooting. He gave up, got on the ground, and the deputy took him into custody."
