The French government has sent out an alert warning of an attack at the Alexis de Tocqueville high school in the southern French town of Grasse after local police reported that shots have been fired.
The alert came in a system implemented by the government after the deadly November 2015 attacks in Paris.
Police say they are still trying to confirm if there are any casualties in the shooting in the town, 40 kilometres from the southern city of Nice.
The shooting at the high school comes as France remains in a state of emergency following deadly attacks in Paris in 2015 and an attack last year in Nice.
