Tuesday, October 16, 2007

CLEVELAND (AP) — A teacher wounded in a shooting rampage at Success Tech Academy downtown said Monday that the student gunman was disruptive and was failing the teacher’s world history class.

Michael Grassie, 42, spoke at MetroHealth Medical Center before his release. He was wounded in the abdomen last week by Asa Coon, 14, who killed himself after wounding a second teacher and two students.
