BOISE, Idaho (AP) Authorities say they are trying to determine what prompted a young girl to open fire at a rural Idaho middle school, one of the few school shootings in which the suspect is female.
The shooting happened around 9 a.m. Thursday, when police say the girl pulled a handgun out of her backpack and shot two other students and an adult custodian before she was disarmed by a teacher and held until police arrived. All three were shot in the extremities, and none had life-threatening injuries.
Jefferson County Sheriff Steve Anderson said Friday the investigation is likely to take a ``considerable amount of time. He said neither the name of the suspect a sixth-grade girl nor the name of the teacher who disarmed her would be immediately released.
