Girl of 11 shoots 3 in horror at school
A GIRL aged 11 shot and wounded two fellow pupils and a staff member at a school.
The unnamed student opened fire in a hallway at Rigby Middle School in Idaho, US, before she was disarmed and detained by a female teacher.
Steve Anderson, Jefferson County Sheriff, said the sixth-grade pupil “retrieved a handgun from her backpack, fired multiple rounds inside of the school and out”.
The injuries of the victims are not reported to be life-threatening.
Pupil Yandel Rodriguez, 12, said he remembers hearing “two loud noises… then screaming”.
Police are still investigating the girl’s motive.
Prosecutors said she could face attempted murder charges.
UNDER-FIRE actor Noel Clarke has been hit by further claims of sexual misconduct, on the set of Doctor Who.
The fresh allegations came days after multiple women accused the 45-yearold of harassment. Clarke denies wrongdoing but has apologised for “some of my actions”.
More women have claimed he touched and bullied them during and away from production of the science fiction series in which he played Mickey Smith between 2005 and 2010.
One runner and driver says she complained to an assistant director.
She claims she was put on different duties as a result.
Suspended
Joanne Hayes, a costume assistant on the revived show, told a newspaper that Clarke sexually harassed her in his trailer, saying he “liked girls with long hair, as it gave him something to hold on to” during sex with them.
She said he laughed as she left when she felt uncomfortable. Clarke’s lawyers said the incident did not happen.
The British Academy of Film and Television Arts has suspended Clarke’s membership and an award for contribution to cinema, while TV channels have cut ties with him.
After the DoctorWho allegations, the BBC vowed to “investigate any specific allegations made by individuals. We have a zero-tolerance approach [to

such behaviour].” Clarke’s co-star John Barrowman was previously accused of exposing himself on set.
Footage from 2015 shows Clarke joking about Barrowman – who played Captain Jack Harkness – taking his penis out “every five seconds”. Sources called his actions ill-judged “larking”.
Barrowman has said his behaviour was “only ever intended in good humour. I understand that upset may have been caused. Since my apology in November 2008, my understanding and behaviour have also changed.”
After initial reports about his actions, Clarke said: “I vehemently deny any sexual misconduct. Some of my actions have affected people in ways I did not intend. I will be seeking professional help to educate myself and change.”
