WATCH: Alleged high school shooter taken into custody

A high schooler has died after being shot Wednesday at Mount Tabor High School in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, authorities said.

The victim was identified by authorities as William Chavis Raynard Miller Jr.

After an extended search, a suspect was taken into custody "without incident," the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office said on Twitter about six hours after the shooting, which was reported around noon. No further information was immediately available, though authorities had said earlier they believed the suspect was also a student.

"We have a mother and family who will not be able to hug their child tonight," Winston-Salem Police Chief Catrina Thompson said at a news conference.
