Louisville police say they have arrested a juvenile in the shooting of a high school student that prompted a school-wide lockdown and evacuation.

Sgt. Phil Russell says the alleged shooter was picked up about three hours after a Fern Creek Traditional High School student was wounded Tuesday afternoon.

The shooting prompted a lockdown and later the evacuation of the 1,400-student school.

Russell did not immediately release any information about the person arrested or what motivated the incident.

Russell says the wounded student had non-life threatening injuries and was reunited with parents at University Hospital. He didn't say if the injured student and shooter knew each other or if the shooter was a student at Fern Creek.
