Calif. high school student shot during class; shooter in custody
(MCT) — TAFT, Calif. — A 16-year-old boy was in critical condition after a classmate interrupted a first-period class at Taft Union High School southwest of Bakersfield, confronted him by name and fired a 12-gauge shotgun into his upper body.
The shooter, also 16, then tried to shoot a second boy and missed before an unarmed science teacher talked him down and apparently took the weapon as the other students fled the classroom.
