A teenaged pupil at a school in south-west Germany shot and wounded a person on Thursday, reported dpa.
Police arrested the suspected shooter following a massive response to the school in the town of Offenburg at around noon (1100 GMT) on Thursday.
The injured person, a male, was first treated by emergency services.
Police currently believe the suspect acted alone and that only one person was injured in the shooting.
Nonetheless, police cordoned off a wide area around the school and kept pupils in classrooms for their own safety
"The police are on site with strong forces," the school said in a statement.
The shooting comes a day after a separate incident at a school in the northern German port city of Hamburg where two teenagers reportedly threatened a teacher with a firearm before fleeing.
No one was injured in the Hamburg incident on Wednesday.
