A 17-year-old student at Perry High School in Iowa fatally shot a sixth grader and wounded four other students and a school administrator Thursday before apparently killing himself, officials said, writes NBC NEWS.

Police responded to an active shooter around 7:37 a.m. at the high school in Perry, a city of around 7,800 around 30 miles northwest of Des Moines, police said.

The shooter was armed with a pump-action shotgun and a small-caliber handgun, police said.

The identity of the student who was killed has not been released. Everyone else who was injured is expected to survive, officials said.

The shooting happened before school had started and not many students were on campus, but a breakfast program was taking place.
