Deputies say that at around noon they responded to a shooting call at a home in the 300 block of Rader Ranch Road, in a neighborhood directly behind Wimberley High School.
The victim has been taken to a hospital in Austin -- her/his status is unknown. The shooter is barricaded in a residence, according to deputies.
Due to the proximity of the incident and Wimberley High School, the school was put on lockdown. The children and all staff members that were in the school are safe, according to deputies.
