-Caveat Lector- 2 students shot at Canadian high school, one killed Copyright � 1999 Nando Media Copyright � 1999 Associated Press Nando's in-depth coverage of The Confrontation Over Kosovo. TABER, Alberta (April 28, 1999 9:21 p.m. EDT http://www.nandotimes.com) - A gunman walked into a southern Alberta high school Wednesday and shot two boys, killing one. Police said a 14- year-old male shot two boys, both 17, at W.R. Myers High School. They said a suspect was taken into custody by the school resource officer, who is also a member of the Taber Police Service. Police declined to release any other details. One of the victims died and the other was in surgery Wednesday, said Mark Gregory, a spokesman with the Lethbridge Regional Hospital. Students on the scene, quoted by the Lethbridge Herald newspaper, said the shooter was wearing a blue trench coat and carried a gun. The shooting came eight days after two students, wearing black trench coats and belonging to a group that called itself the "Trenchcoat Mafia," terrorized a school in Littleton, Colo., fatally shooting 12 students and one teacher before killing themselves. The newspaper quoted students who identified the shooter as a 9th grade student who dropped out and was being taught at home. "He said he's been really distressed," said student Matt Anderson. "He didn't have very many friends." Myers student Regan Valgardson said she came across the shooter and one victim lying bleeding on the ground. "When I walked out of the classroom, I saw his gun right there. I asked the guy what he was doing. He told me to get lost," she told CTV, adding that she then ran to look for help. Taber is a farming community of 8,000, located 185 miles southeast of Calgary and 50 miles north of the Canadian border with Montana. Prime Minister Jean Chretien said he was saddened by the shooting. "The loss of a young life is always difficult to accept," he said. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steve Wingate California Director SKYWATCH INTERNATIONAL ANOMALOUS IMAGES AND UFO FILES http://www.anomalous-images.com DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
