</span></span>
Nov 12th, 2008 | FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Police were investigating reports of a possible shooting at a city high school Wednesday, and one student was hospitalized with serious injuries.
Police said they were alerted to a situation at Dillard High School at 11:04 a.m., when the young woman, a sophomore, was found unresponsive in a hallway. She was listed in critical condition at a local hospital, but she did not have a major wound, creating confusion about whether she was shot.
Another woman was apprehended at a nearby restaurant after someone called police and said that she was there and had possibly shot someone at the school, police said. A gun was recovered, and she was being questioned by police.
"This appears to be an isolated incident," said Sgt. Frank Sousa, a spokesman for the Fort Lauderdale Police. "I want to caution everyone, at this time we do not know if a shooting actually occurred."
Police and school officials didn't say what the motive may have been or whether the suspect was a student at the school.
The school was briefly locked down, but classes had resumed by noon. Dillard has about 1,700 students. They don't pass through metal detectors, but officers are stationed on campus.
