Chicago, IL, United States (AHN) – A 15-year-old student shot himself when police stormed a classroom where he was holding hostage 23 students and a teacher at a high school in Marinette, Wisconsin, on Monday.
No one among the hostages was hurt and the young hostage taker was taken to the Bay Area Medical Center to treat his gunshot wound. Police did not identify the gunman and his condition.
The hostage taker and police figured in a standoff for five hours. When the hostage allowed five hostages to go to the restroom, gunfire was heard and the police stormed the classroom.
The gunman took the students hostage at 3 p.m. just as the school day ended. He carried a .22-caliber semi-automatic and a 9-mm pistol.
Police and students are clueless as to the motive of the student. The school has a student population of 700.
