At Henry Foss High School, four students and a campus security officer were hurt after a 1:30pm incident, and all six people including the suspect were taken to hospital.
Fire officials said four patients were initially in critical condition and one had minor injuries, but later reported everyone, including the suspect, was stable.
Police detained the student at the scene, locked down the campus and began a forensic investigation, while parents were directed to reunite with children in the school parking lot.
