No one was injured today when shots were fired at Mobile's Murphy High School, according to Mobile police.

16-year-old student Jonah Neal is in custody in connection with the incident. Neal is currently being held at Strickland Youth Center, where he is facing several charges.

According to officials, the Neal was involved in an altercation with another 16-year-old male. At approximately 11:20 a.m., Neal pointed the gun at the other student and administrators before running outside and firing the rounds of bullets into the air, police officials say.

Within four minutes the student had been apprehended by police, according to authorities.

The school went into lockdown for several minutes while the student was being arrested.

Mobile Police Chief Lawrence Battiste says Neal will be charged with menacing, reckless endangerment, receiving stolen property and possession of a firearm by a minor. Due to Neal's age and his alleged choice to discharge the firearm, Battiste says, the possession charge was upgraded to a felony after Neal's booking at Strickland. Subsequently, Neal will be charged and tried in the adult criminal system.

Investigators report the gun used in the incident had been stolen from Saraland. Battiste says the incident should serve as a reminder to adults who own weapons to keep them stowed properly in homes and vehicles.

"This is a young man who could not have walked into a pawn shop or an Academy Sporting Goods store and purchased a weapon on his own," Battiste says, noting that the student was able to get his hands on the weapon due to an adult's carelessness.

"We are very fortunate no one was hurt as a direct result."

Correction: An earlier version of this story reported Neal fired a shot in the direction of another student. Mobile County Public Schools and Mobile Police Department both report all shots were fired into the air outside of the school building.
