A student at a middle school in Louisiana's Lafourche Parish has been hospitalized after trying to shoot a teacher and then shooting himself in the head, the sheriff said.
Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre told New Orleans TV station WDSU that the 15-year-old student brought a gun to the school and fired one shot into a classroom. No one was hurt, Webre said. Sgt. Lesley Peters said the student had tried to shoot a teacher.
The student then ran into the boys' bathroom shot himself in the head, Webre said.
The school has been locked down, and all other students are accounted for, Webre said.
"The rest of the student body is being systematically evacuated from the school to a staging area," Webre said.
Webre said he believes the student is 15 years old. His name has not been released.
Larose is about 45 miles southwest of New Orleans.
Tonto, you go to town...
Tonto - Spanish for ‘idiot’ (really mi amigo). When the series went international, Tonto had a name change.
Who knew?
All these mass shooters should just shoot themselves first, then if that works out well for them, they can shoot everyone else. Same with the murder suicide folks.
