Additional security measures were taken at nearby Ridgeway Elementary School, a school official at the scene said.

Kevin Duggin's son attends Ridgeway. He told ABC 17 crews parents were notified of the shooting.

"As a parent, you never want to hear of something like this happening near your son's elementary school," Duggin said. "It's definitely something that's concerning and it's happening all over the place and to hear it happening that close to home is not ideal."
