Four people were injured on Tuesday in a shooting incident at Wilmer-Hutchins High School in Dallas, Texas, authorities said, and the suspect is not currently in custody.

Dallas Independent School District (ISD) Superintendent Stephanie Elizalde told reporters in a news conference that all four victims were students, and they have been transported to local hospitals for treatment. The shooting occurred at approximately 2 p.m. Eastern.

The Dallas Fire Department told CBS News the ages of three of the victims range from 15-18, but the age of the fourth victim was not clear.

There have been no reported fatalities so far, and no clear details on the shooter have been disclosed. However, Elizalde said the alleged shooter has been identified to law enforcement officials, who are searching for the suspect.

The motive for the shooting was not immediately clear.

"Our hearts go out to the victims of this senseless act of violence at Wilmer-Hutchins High School," Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said in a statement. "Cecilia and I ask our fellow Texans to join us in praying for the victims' swift recovery and for the entire Wilmer-Hutchins High School community."

Abbott said he has also offered state resources to Elizalde and Dallas ISD Chief Albert Martinez to help with the arrest of the suspect, along with support for families and students. 

Elizalde said classes at the high school have been canceled for the rest of the week.
