Shots Fired at School; Gunman Caught
Friday, September 28, 2007
OROVILLE, Calif. -- A student fired shots inside a high school and held
three students hostage for over an hour before he was taken into custody
Friday morning, authorities said. No one was injured.
The 17-year-old student initially took about 30 students hostage in a band
room at Las Plumas High School around 9 a.m., said Police Capt. Jerry Smith.
He quickly released most of them, but held three students for about an hour
longer before he was arrested, Smith said.
The gunman's only demand to deputies during the standoff was that they "back
off," he said.
A message posted on the Oroville Union High School District Web site said
all six schools were locked down until the standoff ended. Smith said the
teenager fired numerous shots at random from a handgun.
Oroville is 65 miles north of Sacramento.
