US: 1 student dead in North Carolina school shooting; suspect caught

<p>A sixth-grade girl pulled a handgun from a backpack at her eastern Idaho school on Thursday and opened fire, hitting two fellow students and a member of school staff and inflicting non-life-threatening injuries on them, officials said.</p>

<p>The girl was disarmed by a teacher at Rigby Middle School in Rigby, Idaho, a remote community about 270 miles (435 km) east of Boise, and held until law enforcement arrived, Jefferson County Sheriff Steve Anderson said. Her name and exact age weren't immediately released.</p>

<p>"She fired multiple rounds inside of the school and out," Anderson said at a news conference. "We don't have a lot of details of why. That is being investigated."</p>

<p>Students were sent home with their parents immediately after the shootings and classes will be canceled on Friday, Jefferson School District Superintendent Chad Martin said.</p>

<p>"This is the worst nightmare any school district could ever face," said Martin. "We prepare for it and we're never truly ready for it."</p>

<p>Several law enforcement agencies are involved in the investigation of the shooting, which happened shortly after 9 a.m. local time, Jefferson County Sheriff Anderson said. Local media had previously reported that a male student was taken into custody after the shooting.</p>

<p>Depending on the outcome of the investigation, Jefferson County Prosecuting Attorney Mark Taylor said charges against the girl could include three counts of attempted murder.</p>

<p>None of the gunshot wounds were life-threatening, Michael Lemon, trauma director at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center said.</p>

<p>"They could be so much worse," Lemon said. "We feel absolutely blessed."</p>

<p>The school staff member was treated and released for his injury, while the two students were being kept overnight for observation, he said.</p>

<p>Idaho Governor Brad Little issued a brief statement shortly after the incident.</p>

Man opens fire in Texas high school, at least 8 dead

<p>President Trump today denied that he said teachers should be given guns to protect students from shooters.</p>

<p>&quot;I never said give teachers guns,&quot; the president tweeted.</p>

<p>Trump was endorsed by the &nbsp;National Rifle Association(NRA) during the 2016 presidential campaign. He is seen by many in the United States as a &quot;pro-gun&quot; president who has close ties with the gun association. Students last week blasted Trump&#39;s alleged links with gun lobbyists after the attack at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida in which 17 people were killed.</p>

Students last week blasted Trump's alleged links with gun lobbyists

President Trump today denied that he said teachers should be given guns to protect students from shooters. "I never said give teachers guns," the president tweeted. Trump was endorsed by the National Rifle Association(NRA) during the 2016 presidential campaign. He is seen by many in the United States as a "pro-gun" president who has close ties with the gun association. Students last week blasted Trump's alleged links with gun lobbyists after the attack at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida in which 17 people were killed. I never said “give teachers guns” like was stated on Fake News @CNN & @NBC.

Ex-student opens fire in Florida school, at least 17 killed

<p>A gunman opened fire on a local elementary school in rural Rancho Tehama near Sacramento in California killing at least four people.</p>

<p>The man was killed after a firefight with police, media reports said. Police children were not among the dead and the motive for the assault was unclear but it could be linked to a domestic dispute. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The gunman had crashed into a local school in Rancho Tehama firing indiscriminately as teachers and students scrambled to escape from the sudden shootout.</p>

<p>The incident occurred around 8am, reports said. The gunman had a history of violence having been arrested for attacking the woman during a dispute in January, Tehama police official Phil Johnston said.</p>

<p>In fact, one of the four victims was a woman the gunman had previously been accused of stabbing.</p>

<p>&quot;It was very clear at the onset that we had an individual that was randomly picking targets,&quot; Tehama County Assistant Sheriff Phil Johnston said at a news conference.</p>

<p>&quot;This man was very, very intent on completing what he set out to do today,&quot; Johnston added.</p>

<p>Johnston told reporters that three weapons -- a semi-automatic rifle and two handguns -- had been recovered from the scene, AFP reported.</p>

Gunman opens fire in California school, 4 killed

<p>A disturbed teenager with guns and grenades opened fire in a school in southern France on Thursday, slightly wounding four people, officials said, rattling nerves in a country scarred by jihadist attacks.</p>

<p>Three pupils and the head teacher suffered minor gunshot injuries, and another six students were treated for shock or injuries sustained during a stampede, according to an updated toll.</p>

<p>Investigators said the boy, a student at the Alexis de Tocqueville high school in the hillside town of Grasse, was carrying a small arsenal of weapons as well as a homemade explosive device in a bag.</p>

<p>They said he is obsessed with guns and had relationship problems, and the incident was not apparently terror-related. The name of the suspect, a minor, has not been disclosed.</p>

<p>Education Minister Najat Vallaud-Belkacem said &quot;heroic&quot; actions by the school&#39;s head teacher appeared to have helped prevent greater bloodshed.</p>

<p>The head teacher rushed towards the pupil as he pulled out his guns &quot;to try to reason with him,&quot; Vallaud-Belkacem said, adding that the educator was injured in the process. &quot;We avoided the worst,&quot; she said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The assailant&#39;s age was initially given by investigators as 17, but they later amended it to 16.</p>

<p>Local prosecutor Fabienne Atzori ruled out a terror motive and said the shooting appeared to have been motivated by the gunman&#39;s &quot;bad relationships&quot; with classmates. The teenager was described by Vallaud-Belkacem as &quot;unstable and fascinated by guns&quot; and was carrying a rifle, two handguns and grenades -- which may have been dummy devices -- when he was detained by police shortly after the lunchtime attack.</p>

<p>Investigators also found a homemade explosive device in his rucksack, which was made safe on the spot.</p>

<p>He used a pump-action firearm, but not the other weapons, and offered no resistance to his arrest, the prosecutor said.</p>

<p>The suspect had shared pictures and videos on social media of infamous US school shootings, including the 1999 Columbine massacre in Littleton, Colorado, in which two teens killed 13 people before committing suicide.</p>

<p>France is still in a state of emergency after a series of terror attacks, including the November 2015 massacre in Paris and a truck attack in Nice, just 40 kilometres (25 miles) from Grasse, in July last year.</p>

<p>Many feared the worst when news first filtered through of the violence, with elite police response teams immediately dispatched to the scene.</p>

<p>The shooting comes around 40 days ahead of the first round of France&#39;s two-stage presidential election, in which security is one of the main issues on voters&#39; minds.Witnesses described scenes of panic as pupils fled the shooting or looked for places to hide.</p>

<p>Fifteen-year-old Mokhtaria told AFP she was having a cigarette in the school garage when she heard shots ring out.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&quot;We saw people coming down shouting: &#39;There&#39;s a nutter firing at people&#39;. We ran for it,&quot; she said.</p>

<p>Sonia, 42, the mother of a 16-year-old girl called Ines, said she had received a text message from her daughter at 12:30 pm (1130 GMT) that said, &quot;We are going to die, someone has a gun, I love you, Mum. Goodbye!&quot;</p>

<p>All schools in Grasse were locked down after the shooting and police threw a cordon around the building in the town which is home to several perfume factories.</p>

<p>Security is at its highest level in France following the spate of jihadist attacks since January 2015 that have claimed hundreds of lives.</p>

<p>More than 3,000 reservists were called up to help keep watch outside the country`s 64,000 primary and secondary schools when pupils returned from their summer holidays in September.</p>

<p>US-style school shootings are almost unheard-of in France, a country with low levels of gun violence.</p>

<p>The last major attack at a school was in 2012, when an Islamic extremist from Toulouse, Mohamed Merah, shot dead three children and a teacher at a Jewish school in the city before being killed by police.</p>
