Authorities say, a 15-year-old student at Woodrow Wilson High School in Portsmouth was charged for firing shots at the school today.
Police say the student fired three shots from a handgun inside the school.
The student, identified as a juvenile male, had been suspended earlier in the week for disorderly conduct, said Joseph Wiggins, director of communications for Portsmouth Public Schools.
No one was injured. Students were evacuated to an athletic field and then released.
Det. John Doyle said that the student entered the building through a rear door around 12:15 p.m. He then fired one shot into a wall of the classroom that houses in-school suspensions and two shots into the ceiling of the school cafeteria. There were approximately 150 students in the cafeteria at the time.
The student left the gun and fled the school. He was apprehended by a security officer and a school administrator, and the gun was recovered.
According to police, the student is charged with discharging a firearm within or at an occupied school, brandishing a firearm on school property or with-in 1000 feet of school property and possession of a handgun under 18 years of age. He is being held at the Tidewater Detention Home.
The investigation is ongoing and more charges may be pending, police said.
