DALTON, GA. – An armed teacher has been arrested after shots were fired at a high school in a small town in northern Georgia.
The Dalton Police Department reported that “shot or shots” had been fired at Dalton High School just after 11:15 a.m. on the department’s official Twitter account.
Minutes later, DPD added that the armed suspect was barricaded inside a classroom at the school and urged parents not to come to the school.
Students were transported to the Northeast Georgia Trade Center for pickup, according to the DPD.
At 11:23 a.m., the department tweeted an update that read “The teacher is in custody.”
No students were harmed, and no children were in danger during the shooting, but one student did sustain an ankle injury running inside the school during the evacuation, according to the DPD.

Good guy with a gun, or no good guy?
The only thing that can stop a bad teacher with a gun is a good child with a gun.
Let's arm the students to stop the crazy teachers that we are going to arm to stop the crazy students...
A student who was in the classroom of a Georgia high school where a teacher opened fire in her classroom called out the National Rifle Association for backing plans that would arm teachers.
“My favorite teacher at Dalton high school just blockaded his door and proceeded to shoot,” the student, identified as Chondi on Twitter, wrote. “We had to run out The back of the school in the rain. Students were being trampled and screaming.”
“I dare you to tell me arming teachers will make us safe,” she concluded in the tweet that tagged the NRA.
The call to arm teachers in the wake of the mass shooting in Parkland, Florida on Valentine’s Day has been taken up by both the NRA and President Donald Trump.
Dalton police reported soon after the incident took place that no children were hurt or in danger, and that the teacher in question was in their custody. The school was evacuated following the event.
Apparently one student injured her ankle in the stampede to get out of the school. The school is very lucky that no students or staff were killed.
Perhaps instead of arming the teachers it would be better to arm the clocks in the schools.
On a more serious note, America is becoming very weird.
And on an even more serious note, it may be prudent to deport all Americans and import anybody from everywhere, thusly starting over.
Hmmm, arming the teachers will fix it......(where is my holy shit this is funny emote)
Arming every citizen did not work in the 1800's why would it work today?
this fell from the front page fast, guess no one wants to actually talk about what happens when you do arm all the teachers.
It must be awkward for the gun nuts here and for the GOP and NRA. No wonder they don't want to talk about it.
I wonder how talented he is with his gun.
That didn't take long.
