Former Student Shoots Principal At Wis. School
(AP) Cazenovia, Wis. A student walked into a rural school with a gun and shot the principal several times, authorities said. A suspect was taken into custody and all the children were reported safe.

Principal John Klang's condition was not immediately known, Sauk County sheriff's Capt. Michael Haifemann said.

The student walked into the school at about 8 a.m. and shots were fired as people tried to get him under control, Melissa Nigh, dean of students at Weston School, said in an interview broadcast on MSNBC.

The K-12 school was locked down Friday morning, officials said.

"All the children in the school were safe and none were harmed," Haifemann said.

Cazenovia is a community of about 300 people about 60 miles northwest of Madison.

At least he had a target of his anger and pinpointed him. Instead of taking out just anyone that walked by. Could have been a lot worse.

It's not a "school shooting" if you can't post a KDR.


That said, I'm Glad everyone's safe.

Good thing no one was hurt in that incident.

I wish that security was in force in almost every school so that everyone can have a safe educational and working environment.

Apparently, the shooting was done by a 15-ish year old, and he was wrestled to the ground by a janitor and several kids. The principal was shot in the leg, but he's still in critical condition. I guess the kid happened to live across the street from my home for quite a while. :shocked:
