JOPLIN, Mo.-
A student fired a gun inside a middle school Monday morning but didn’t hit anyone and no injuries were reported, police said.
The Memorial Middle School student, who was not identified, was in custody, said Joplin Police Lt. Geoff Jones.
“It was a very close call,” said Joplin R-8 Superintendent Jim Simpson. He said other students were taken to the gymnasium and were being picked up by their parents.
