Other students began yelling as a 17-year-old boy sitting in the front of a classroom pulled out a handgun and shot himself in the head, according to a police report.
The student remained in critical condition in a hospital Tuesday as classes resumed at La Salle High School.
Green Township police said there were at least 21 other students in the first-period classroom Monday morning at the all-male Catholic school west of Cincinnati. Teacher Michael Holman told police he was at his desk when he heard yelling, then saw the youth struggle briefly with the handgun, put it to his right temple and fire.
He "discharged one round into his head," the police report stated.
His family has requested privacy while they focus on efforts to save his life by the University of Cincinnati Medical Center doctors and staff.
Yeah, privacy so they don't have to explain where the gun came from. You know how I hate to flesh out the story too much, but I couldn't help but notice that a white kid in a private school most likely did not get the gun from gang members or drug dealers. He probably just took one of dad's.
