CHATSWORTH, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Chatsworth High School was briefly placed on lockdown Thursday morning after a shooting occurred near the campus, authorities said.

An unidentified suspect was taken into custody after the incident, which was reported shortly before 9:30 a.m. in the 9900 block of Lurline Avenue, just east of DeSoto Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

No one was struck by gunfire, but two ambulances were requested at the scene, an LAPD spokesperson told ABC7. One person suffered a possible head injury, and another was having trouble breathing.

People on the high school campus were sheltering in place inside classrooms for just over 30 minutes as a precaution while police responded to the incident.

The lockdown was lifted shortly before 10 a.m.
