Four Students Wounded In Atlanta School Shooting
By June Preston
CONYERS, Ga. (Reuters) - A male student opened fire at a suburban Atlanta
high school Thursday, injuring four other students a month to the day of the
Colorado school massacre, police said.
Rockdale County Sheriff's deputies said none of the injuries were
life-threatening and the shooter had been taken into custody.
The shooting occurred at 8:03 a.m. EDT in the commons area at Heritage High
School in Conyers, 25 miles (40 km) east of Atlanta.
The gunman, identified only as a male student, was taken into custody within
10 minutes, deputies said. Witnesses said he carried at least two weapons, a
pump-style .22 shotgun and a revolver.
Kate Whiting, an 11th-grade student, said she heard "firecracker-like
noises" as she arrived for school.
"I saw some students run out of the building across the street to a nearby
neighborhood," Whiting told WSB-TV.
The injured students were taken by ambulances to the Rockdale County
Hospital. The remaining 1,400 students were led out of the school and stood
waiting on a football field while police searched the building.
The shooting comes just a month after the April 20 massacre at Columbine
High School in the Denver suburb of Littleton in which two high school
students murdered 13 people in a shooting rampage.
President Clinton was due to visit Littleton Thursday to console students
and families of victims.
