COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- A second student has been questioned about pipe bombs police say were found after a shooting at a South Carolina high school.

Socastee High School principal Paul Browning says police questioned a second student Wednesday about his knowledge of the event in northeastern South Carolina. Browning says the second student has been released to his parents.

On Tuesday, police say the school's resource officer confronted a 14-year-old student who had a gun. They scuffled and during the fight the student shot at the officer. The officer subdued the student, who was arrested and is in custody.

Police later said they found pipe bombs after the school was evacuated and searched.

Browning says metal detectors will be used for the remainder of the week.
