Chris Oliver said his 16-year-old son, a student at the school, told him the shooting happened near his classroom. The boy told Oliver the shooter was standing in the hallway and shot at a closed classroom door. The shooter then dropped the unspecified weapon, ran and tried to hide, the boy told his father.
Police have asked the public to stay away from the school. Parents were told to pick up their children from the First Baptist Church of Ocala. The students were being transported to the church by bus.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott tweeted he was briefed on the shooting.
