RIGBY Thursday marks a week since authorities say a Rigby Middle School student shot two students and a custodian at the school.
The sixth-grade girl was taken into custody minutes after last week’s shooting, but what happens next is not widely known. Idaho law keeps most juvenile cases from public record, so it’s not known if Jefferson County Prosecutor Mark Taylor has determined if the girl should face any charges, though Taylor told media the day of the shooting that she could be charged with three counts of attempted murder. He said his office would make the decision once law enforcement concluded its investigation.
IDAHO FALLS â A local woman was sentenced to probation Thursday after pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter.
Angie Kay Young, 49, of Idaho Falls, was charged in August after another familyâs child died in her care.
According to court records, Young regularly babysat the 2-year-old, Finnian Powell. On May 1, Young placed a card table over the victimâs Packân Play, adding blankets on top to weigh it down and prevent the victim from climbing out.

The child was later found with his body hanging outside of the playpen, and his head caught between the table and the edge of the playpen. Young called 911, but Emergency Medical Services were not able to resuscitate the child.
