CNN) -- A high school student took an unknown number of people hostage at gunpoint inside an Oroville, California, school Friday, authorities said.

The male student had fired one shot into the air, but no one was hit, according to the Butte County Sheriff's Department.

The incident at Las Plumas High School began about 9 a.m. (noon ET), officials said.

The hostages, believed to number eight to 10, were being held in the band room, the sheriff's department said.

A SWAT team was on scene and may be communicating with the student.

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said it is assisting Butte County authorities. Department spokeswoman Janet Upton said a teacher may also be held at gunpoint.

The school district said all of its six schools were on lockdown (just in case other bad people wanted to find a bunch of kids gathered in a room.)--

Shots fired at school; gunman caught
17 minutes ago

A student fired shots inside a high school and held three students hostage for over an hour before he was taken into custody Friday morning, authorities said. No one was injured.

The 17-year-old student initially took about 30 students hostage in a band room at Las Plumas High School around 9 a.m., said Police Capt. Jerry Smith. He quickly released most of them, but held three students for about an hour longer before he was arrested, Smith said.

The gunman's only demand to deputies during the standoff was that they "back off," he said.

A message posted on the Oroville Union High School District Web site said all six schools were locked down until the standoff ended. Smith said the teenager fired numerous shots at random from a handgun.

Oroville is 65 miles north of Sacramento.
