A suspect was taken into custody Friday following a shooting at a high school in central Florida, authorities said.
Gunshots broke out Friday morning at Forest High School in Ocala, some 38 miles south of Gainesville.
Within minutes, a school resource officer on campus found a 17-year-old student who had sustained non-life-threatening injuries. The officer also located the suspected shooter, identified as a 19-year-old male who is not a student at the school, according to Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods.
The suspect was taken into custody without incident, and the wounded student was transported to a local hospital for treatment, the sheriff told reporters at a news conference Friday afternoon.
Woods said the shooting appeared to be intentional, but it's unclear whether the suspect was targeting anyone in particular.
Sky Bouche, the suspected shooter, is being cooperative and talking with investigations, the Marion County Woods said in a later press conference Friday afternoon.
Bouche faces eight charges, including terrorism, aggravated assault with a firearm, culpable negligence, carrying a concealed firearm, possession of a firearm on school property, possession of short-barreled shotgun, interference in a school function and armed trespassing on school property.
The arrest affidavit shows Bouche was allegedly using a 17.5-inch barreled shotgun and the report indicates police suspect he was under the influence of drugs, but not alcohol. Bouche is listed as a resident of Crystal River, Florida, which is about 40 miles southwest of Ocala.
Bouche arrived on campus with the shotgun hidden in a guitar case and put on a tactical vest and gloves in a bathroom before the shooting, according to the Marion County Sheriff's Office. He also allegedly told police after his arrest that he had originally planned on carrying out some type of shooting on April 13 -- Friday the 13th -- but "chose to target a school because he thought it would gather more media attention."
As Bouche was escorted out of the Marion County Sheriff's Office Operations Center, he was hounded by questions from reporters.
When one reporter asked if Bouche was "trying to shoot someone," he shook his head.
"I shot through the door," he said. "I didn't see anyone."
Then, when asked by a reporter what he would say to the victim's family, Bouche replied, "Sorry."
"It doesn't make it better, anyway," he said before he was led into a police van.
Woods called the injured victim and the deputy for took Bouche into custody "heroes." When Woods visited the injured student in the hospital, he said he told him, "I am so glad it was me and not one of my friends."
The shooting took place in the school's main building, according to Marion County Public Schools. Approximately 2,200 students attend Forest High School. The students were evacuated and the high school placed on lockdown, along with 17 other schools in the area.
Jonathan Grantham, deputy superintendent of Marion County Public Schools, said there was no indication before the shooting that anything was amiss.
The shooting happened just minutes before thousands of students across the country were set to rally against school gun violence in an event called the National School Walkout. The event is taking place on the anniversary of the massacre at Columbine High School in Colorado, where two students opened fire in 1999, killing 12 classmates and one teacher.
However, one of the student organizers of Friday's walkout said the event is a direct response to the mass shooting in February at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, which left 17 students and educators dead.
"The fact that this keeps on happening ... I knew I needed to do something," Lane Murdock, a sophomore at Ridgefield High School in Connecticut who helped organize the walkout, told ABC News.
