Wis. Student Fires At Classmates With Pellet Gun

ALTOONA, Wis. (AP) ― A 13-year-old Altoona, Wis. boy is facing juvenile charges after he was accused of bringing a pellet gun to school and firing at students on the playground.

Police say the boy had a fight with other students at Altoona Middle School, hit another student with his skateboard, breaking the student's glasses and cutting his head.

The 13-year-old then left school and returned with the gun.

Police Chief Todd Chaney says one student was hit in the shoulder when the 13-year-old started firing at classmates.

Police are recommending charges of firing a dangerous weapon on school property, battery, disorderly conduct and criminal damage to property.
