Suspect in Pennsylvania high school shooting turns himself in to police

One student in the shooting had been hospitalized with non-life-threatening wounds but was in stable condition, according to Erie Police Deputy Chief Michael Nolan. The two appeared to have known each other and authorities believed the shooting to be an isolated incident.

Erie County District Attorney Elizabeth Hirz indicated following the shooting that the suspect would be prosecuted as a juvenile if charged. The district attorney's office did not immediately respond to a request for information from NBC News on Wednesday. Detectives believe the suspect used a 9mm handgun in the shooting, which occurred in a school hallway at about 9:22 a.m, while other students were in the vicinity, Nolan said. It's unclear how the suspect obtained the gun.

Erie High School is closed through the end of the week, and students will be off for spring break next week.
