Ind. police exchange gunfire with teen at school

RICHMOND, Ind. — A 14-year-old boy who arrived at an Indiana middle school Thursday morning that was already on lockdown after a tip about potential violence shot out glass in a locked door and entered the school before exchanging gunfire with officers inside, authorities said.

The boy, who police said died inside the school from an apparent selfinflicted gunshot wound, wasn’t a student at Dennis Intermediate School in Richmond, said Indiana State Police Capt. Dave Bursten.

Bursten did not release additional information on the boy or the weapon he used. No officers and no one else at the school were injured.

Police and school officials were notified that an armed person was heading to the school with the intention of hurting people.
