The police department posted a photo to social media of officers responding. Parents were urged to not come to the school and instead to go to a hospital to reunite with their children.
Nashville’s school district posted a phone number that families can call for information.
“The line is very busy,” the school district said. “Stay on even if you don’t hear a tone.”
Police said buses would take the students to the reunification center.
Aerial footage from CBS affiliate WTVF-TV showed a crowd of people outside the hospital.
Over 2,100 students are enrolled at the public high school.
The shooting happened less than two years after a shooter killed three children and three adults at a private Christian elementary school in Nashville.
