"Nevada student kills teacher in deadly school shooting"
A student at a Nevada middle school shot a teacher dead
and wounded two other students before turning the gun on himself, police have
said. As many as 200 police officers responded to the scene but fired no shots,
authorities said. The incident occurred at 07:15 local time (14:15 GMT) shortly before the
scheduled start of classes. Students from Sparks Middle School and a nearby primary school were evacuated
and classes were cancelled. A student told local media he witnessed the shooting outside on the
basketball courts."I thought it was a firecracker at first but the student was pointing the gun
at the teacher after the teacher told him to put it down," Kyle Nucum, 13, told
the Reno Gazette-Journal. "Then the student fired a shot at the teacher and
everybody ran away… While we were running we heard four or five more shots." Family members of the slain teacher identified him as Michael Landsberry. "It doesn't feel real. It's totally surreal to have it happen," the victim's
sister-in-law Chanda Landsberry told the Los Angeles Times. A spokeswoman for Renown Regional Medical Center said two male children were
brought to the hospital. At a midday press conference, police said one student
was out of surgery and the other was doing well. In a statement, Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval said he was "deeply saddened
to learn of the horrific shooting at Sparks Middle School this
morning".
