Pa. Student Critically Wounds Principal
RED LION, Pa. (AP) -- A heavily armed 14-year-old boy shot his school principal inside a crowded junior high cafeteria Thursday morning, then killed himself, authorities said.
The shootings happened about 15 minutes before the start of classes at the Red Lion Area Junior High School, about 30 miles southeast of Harrisburg in south-central Pennsylvania.
The eighth-grader had multiple weapons and fired at least two shots with a handgun, said Red Lion Borough Police Chief Walt Hughes.
The principal, identified by school district officials as Eugene Segro, was transported to a hospital in critical condition, police said. A spokeswoman at York Hospital referred questions to the county coroner; the coroner's office did not immediately return calls.
Segro has been at the school for more than a decade and is believed to be in his 50s, said Terry Robinson, the school district's business manager.
