From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] TEENAGER FIRES AT NURSERY SCHOOL 251553 AUG 10 By Sinead McIntyre, PA News A teenager armed with a ball-bearing gun fired at a nursery school's windows as terrified children and staff hid inside. The boy, believed to be aged 14, was seen with what looked like a handgun near a field where children from Bright Sparks kindergarten in Bury, Greater Manchester, were playing. Nina Johnson, manager of the premises which are also used by older boys and girls during the summer holidays, said the 36 children aged between six months and 10 years were immediately taken inside the nursery and all the doors and windows locked. Ms Johnson said: "He began firing at the windows. It was terrifying at first because when we first saw him in the field it looked as if he had a handgun." The boy fired at the nursery in Stewart Street on Wednesday for around five minutes before running off. "We closed all the curtains so the children wouldn't get scared and tried to jolly them along really and I immediately called the police," Ms Johnson said. She added that the following day she saw some of the boy's friends in the field and they told her he had been using a ball-bearing gun. His name has been passed to police. A spokeswoman for Greater Manchester Police said they were called to the incident at around 4pm on Wednesday. An investigation is on-going.
