United States high school staff shot, suspect arrested
The Baltimore Police Department received emergency calls around noon Friday that a staff member at Frederick Douglass High School had been shot.
The victim is now being treated at Maryland Shock Trauma and is now in serious, but stable, condition.
During a press conference, officials said the staff member who was shot was a hall monitor.
The school was put on lockdown after the shooting, and a suspect has already been taken into custody.
Police said a 56-year-old hall monitor confronted the gunman in the school's entrance.
However, the flare up of violence inside a school is raising fresh questions about the safety of the city's educational facilities.

That coincides with the company announcing a " strategic review " of the profitable and growing group airline business. Analysts said there might not be many bidders to take the whole airline in one go, given turmoil in the industry.
Police believe the suspect is an "outside person" who wanted to confront someone in the school.
Students have been released from the school for the day. We only learned about the shooting from a cousin who works for the school system. "If it wasn't for the swift action of Baltimore city police, one of whom was unarmed, it would have been much worse".
It's far from clear whether having armed officers in schools makes students and staff safer.
A shooting investigation is underway at Fredrick Douglass High School.
Officials said the law enforcer responded immediately and fired a shot that hit the gun in the teen's hand just as he shot himself in the head.
