A North Carolina high school student was shot and killed on Monday after an argument with a fellow student, who was quickly taken into custody, police said.
The incident sparked a brief lockdown at the David W. Butler High School in Matthews, North Carolina, a suburb just southeast of Charlotte, until police responded and students were released to their parents, authorities said.

"All I can tell you at this point was that there a fight between two students," Matthews Police Captain Stason Tyrrell told reporters at the scene.
The wounded student, whose identity was not disclosed, was taken to a local hospital and later died there, Tyrrell said. The suspected shooter was also not identified.
A school resource officer called police after the shooting, which occurred in a hallway.
