Cazenovia - A 15-year-old student walked into a rural school with a gun and shot the principal three times before classes started Friday, authorities said. The suspect was taken into custody and all students were reported safe.

Sauk County Sheriff Randy Stammen said a custodian saw the student enter Weston School with a shot gun. The custodian, along with other teachers and students, wrestled the student and took away the shotgun. But the student broke free and entered a main corridor, where he was approached by Principal John Klang, Stammen said.

The student then took out a handgun and shot Klang three times. No one else was injured, authorities said. The student was taken into custody and held at the county sheriff's department, Stammen said.

What is going on with all of these school shootings lately? Are all these kids thinking "wow, I wish I could do that!" and then they decide to go out in a blaze of "glory"?
I feel for those townspeople.
