US police have a suspect in custody after reports of gunfire at an Atlanta-area primary school, an official says.
Michael Thurmond, superintendent of DeKalb County schools, said that school officials are doing a head count to ensure all students at Ronald E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy are safe.
Television footage showed students were evacuated from the school and were sitting outside in a field.
Mr Thurmond said he is not aware of any injuries.
DeKalb County School Board Chairman Melvin Johnson told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution there were reports of shots being fired inside the building.
