MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- A Florida high school student was killed Tuesday by a second student during an altercation at the school, officials said.

The incident occurred just after 9 a.m. ET at Coral Gables Senior High School in Coral Gables, officials said. The school was placed on lockdown afterward.

Two students were arguing between first and second periods, and one produced a weapon and killed the other, police at the scene told reporters. Authorities would not release the victim's name, age or grade level pending notification of relatives.

CNN affiliate WSVN-TV in Miami-Fort Lauderdale reported the student was killed in the school's courtyard area after the suspect pulled out a switchblade and stabbed the victim in the chest.

The suspect was taken into custody just after the incident and was being interviewed, officials said.

At least four students witnessed the incident, WSVN said.
