A 15-year-old boy is listed in critical but stable condition at Cooper Hospital after being shot by police outside a private Willingboro school for special needs students.
Burlington County prosecutor Robert Bernardi says the incident began when police arrived at the Garfield Park Academy on Glenolden Lane. Several 911 calls regarding an out of control male had been reported. Police found the teenage special needs student armed with a pair of scissors, in the lobby of the school.
