1 Student Dies, 1 Hurt in Minnesota Shooting

COLD SPRING, Minn. (AP) - A freshman opened fire at a high school Wednesday, killing one student and critically wounding a second before a teacher apparently talked the boy into dropping the gun, authorities said. The suspect was taken into custody after the late-morning shooting at Rocori High School in Cold Spring, a small town about 60 miles northwest of the Twin Cities. Police said the 15-year-old boy, who was not identified, was cooperating with authorities, but the motive was not immediately known. Posted by Webmaster at September 25, 2003 02:40 AM
