A TEACHER and a member of school staff have been hailed heroes for confronting a student who planned to shoot two classmates at a California high school.
The 16-year-old,armed with a shotgun, walked into a rural California school, shot one student and fired at others before a teacher and another staff member talked him into surrendering, officials said.
The teenage victim was in a critical but stable condition, and the suspect, whose pockets were stuffed with ammunition, was being interrogated, Sheriff Donny Youngblood said at a news conference.
