WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - At least one person was killed and several others injured in a school shooting in the US state of Kentucky, Governor Matt Bevin said in a statement on Tuesday.

Marshall County High School in the city of Benton was on lockdown whereas the suspect was brought in custody as emergency services tended to the injured, according to officials.

A suspect in the shooting has been detained, Bevin wrote in a Twitter post, saying the details of the incident are under investigation. 

The internet users have uploaded photos and videos from the scene.

Benton is a city about 120 miles northwest of Nashville, Tennessee.

The Kentucky shooting comes a day after a 15-year-old girl was injured at Italy High School in Texas after a 16-year-old opened fire in the cafeteria. No information on the suspect's motives was provided.
