A student was arrested and charged in the shooting near Therrell High School in Georgia on Tuesday, UPI reported.
Marcellus Brooks, 17, is facing five counts of aggravated assault after opening fire at five people.
He is currently being held at Fulton County Jail, according to Atlanta Police Officer John Chafee.
The shooting took place around 4 p.m. and occurred 100 yards away from the school building. Officials with Atlanta Public Schools confirmed each victim was a student at the high school and suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
On Tuesday night, three of the students were still in the hospital -- one of which had a bullet stuck in her leg, according to her mother.
Following the shooting, the school was placed on lockdown. Additionally, administrators announced that backpacks and bags would be prohibited for the rest of the school year.
Atlanta Police Sgt. Greg Lyon told The AP that Brooks will be charged as an adult. It is unknown if he has legal representation but is expected to make his first court appearance late Wednesday morning.
Witnesses said a group of 30 to 35 people were arguing when someone pulled out a gun, Fox 5 News reported. A motive for the shooting is unknown.
The chairman of the Fulton County Board of Commissioners called the shootings "particularly upsetting and distressing."
"When our young people are victimized by the crime of our city streets, it serves as a sad reminder of the challenges we as leaders confront in trying to make our streets safer for Fulton County families," Chairman John Eaves said in a statement.
