Police kill armed eighth-grader in Texas school
Officers summoned to a Texas middle school on Wednesday after a student was seen brandishing a handgun shot and killed the eighth-grader after he ignored their order to drop the weapon and instead pointed it at them, police said.
The Cummings Middle School student, who police did not immediately identify but whose godmother identified him as 15-year-old Jaime Gonzalez, was spotted holding the weapon in the school at about 8 am, district officials said. School administrators quickly called police and ordered the school into lockdown. (AP)
