A bullet was fired through an elementary school's cafeteria window in an apparent drive-by shooting Thursday, and a custodian was injured by flying glass, authorities said.

From Mokane, Mo we have a public school student who went on a crime spree during a bathroom break.

A fifth-grader walked out of class and went on a crime spree, stealing weapons from a central Missouri farm and shooting at three people who tried to confront him, wounding a school official, authorities said Thursday.

School staff alerted authorities when the 11-year-old boy never returned to class for a bathroom break and could not be found on campus Wednesday afternoon, South Callaway Superintendent Dustin Storm said.


At one Maine school 11 year old students can get birth control pills.

School officials on Thursday defended a decision to allow children as young as 11 to obtain birth-control pills at a middle-school health center, saying the new policy is aimed at a tiny number of sexually active students.

King Middle School will become the first middle school in Maine, and apparently one of only a few in the nation, to make a full range of contraception available, including birth-control pills and patches.


And the public school principal who sold meth out of his public school office was sentenced in Allentown, PA.

A former middle school principal who pleaded guilty to selling crystal methamphetamine from his office was sentenced Thursday to two to four years in state prison.
