The 16-year-old student was armed with a shotgun and walked into class in a rural California high school, shooting one student and firing at another.The science class teacher, named as Ryan Heber, ushered his 28 students out the door as he engaged the shooter in conversation. He, and another staff member who arrived shortly after, talked the student into surrendering, officials said.
The teen victim was in critical but stable condition, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said at a press conference. The sheriff said the teacher suffered a minor pellet wound to the head but declined treatment.The shooting at Taft Union High School came less than a month after a gunman massacred 20 children and six women at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, then killed himself. That shooting prompted President Barack Obama to promise new efforts to curb gun violence. Vice President Joe Biden, who was placed in charge of the initiative, said he would deliver new policy proposals to the president by next week.
