Officials and witnesses say a
12-year-old boy drew a shotgun from a band-instrument case and shot and wounded
two classmates at his New Mexico
middle school before a teacher talked him into dropping the weapon.
A boy was
critically injured and a girl was in satisfactory condition following the
shooting Tuesday morning at Berrendo Middle School in Roswell .
Gov. Susana Martinez said the
students were in the gym, where they typically hang out before classes start during
cold and inclement weather. The 12-year-old pulled a shotgun and opened fire
there at about 8 a.m. She said the boy quickly dropped the gun and surrendered
when approached by the staff member.
Superintendent Tom Burris said the
school's faculty had participated in "active shooter" training, and
they responded appropriately.
