Students at Harrisburg High School are reportedly unharmed and the gunman has been taken into custody.

A student shot and injured the principal of a South Dakota high school on Wednesday morning, shortly before the unnamed suspect was tackled to the ground by the assistant principal and athletic coach, according to local reports.

James Holbeck, Harrisburg High School's superintendent, said in a statement that no students were hurt in the shooting, according to the Associated Press. The shooting victim, Kevin Lein, is reportedly in stable condition, Lincoln County State's Attorney Tom Wollman told the Argus Leader.

Sioux Falls Police said that Ryan Rollinger, the school's assistant principal and assistant football coach, ran to the scene after hearing a gunshot. He apprehended the student with the help of athletic director Joey Struwe. The suspect is now in police custody.

Harrisburg High School, which is located about 10 miles south of Sioux Falls, remains in lockdown as officers from the Harrisburg Police Department and the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department investigate the scene.
