Officials suspend boyafter talk of shooting
NEWVILLE, Pa. (AP) -- A high school student was suspended after describing a premonition of a shooting at his school, school officials said, though police said he didn't break any law.
"We are living in an environment where we must take action promptly when anyone speaks about violent acts," said William K. Cowden, superintendent of Big Spring School District, about 20 miles southwest of Harrisburg. "We cannot presume that the comment is being made in jest or without thought."
The student, whose name was not released, never threatened anyone, school officials said. Cowden said he and Big Spring High School administrators questioned the boy at length and concluded that his comments were meant to scare his classmates. Cowden didn't specify how long the suspension would last.
The matter was referred to police, but police said the boy will not be charged.
"No laws were broken that we are aware of," Newville Police Cpl. Greg Martin said Friday.
School officials talked to the boy's family and were assured that the student does not have access to a weapon, Cowden said.
