TOWNVILLE, S.C. (AP) — The Latest on the shooting at an elementary school in South Carolina that left two students and a teacher wounded (all times local):

6:30 p.m.

A hospital official says a teacher and a child brought there following a shooting at a South Carolina elementary school have both been released.

AnMed Health spokeswoman Juana Slade had earlier told The Associated Press that the hospital had received one adult female and one male child, and that both were in good condition.

Authorities say a female teacher and two male students were wounded in the shooting.

Greenville News reported earlier Wednesday that a 6-year-old child was airlifted to Greenville Memorial and was in critical condition. Greenville Memorial spokeswoman Sandy Dees has confirmed that a child was taken to the hospital, but would not release any further information.

Authorities say there is no evidence that the shooting at a South Carolina elementary school was related to either terrorism or racism.

Capt. Garland Major also said that authorities are confident there was only one shooter and that he is in custody following Wednesday's shooting at Townville Elementary School.

Garland says he believes the teen is the son of 47-year-old Jeffrey Osborne, who was shot to death at a house not far from the school. He says authorities think the teen first shot Osborne before going to the school and opening fire.

Anderson County Coroner Greg Shore told a news conference that a 911 call from Osborne's house was received shortly after the school shooting.

Anderson County school district 4 superintendent Joanne Avery said school has been canceled for the rest of the week and that counselors are being made available for students.

Avery told a news conference that school officials are "heartbroken about this senseless act of violence."
