A high school student brought a rifle to school and shot himself to
death this morning, the Montgomery County, PA., school district said.
No one else was injured in the 9 a.m. shooting at Springfield Township
High School in Montgomery County, the district said.
All the students were moved to an adjacent middle school, and all the
district s schools were locked down, said Laura Feller, a spokeswoman for
the Springfield Township School District. The district asked parents to
stay away from the schools.
It wasn t immediately clear where at the school the student was when the
gun went off.
The township police station is next-door to the high school, and
officers were on the scene almost immediately, Feller said. The police
department declined to comment.
