At least three high school students are reportedly in critical condition following a shooting on Monday at East High School in Des Moines, Iowa.

Fire department spokesperson Ahman Douglass told CNN that the victims include two boys and one girl, all of whom have been taken to local hospitals.

The high school was placed on lockdown but taken off shortly thereafter. Des Moines Public Schools tweeted around 3:30 p.m. local time that students have the all-clear and will be dismissed on time.
