APRIL 29, 09:40 EDT None Hurt in British School Shooting GLOUCESTER, England (AP) - A teen-age gunman fired three shots into a college classroom filled with students this morning in Britain before running away. No one was injured. Police, who evacuated 18 female students from the classroom at the Gloucestershire College of Art and Technology in southwest England, said the youth fired through an open window and put the weapon, believed to be a handgun, back inside his coat before leaving. Police later arrested a 16-year-old youth, believed to be a student at the college. The suspect's weapon was almost certainly illegal. Britain imposed a near-total ban on handguns after Thomas Hamilton used four legally owned guns to kill 16 kindergarten children and their teacher before killing himself on March 13, 1996, in Dunblane. Eight days ago, two teen-agers rampaged through a high school in suburban Denver with bombs and firearms, killing 15 people, including themselves.
Wow, looks like that near total ban is really doing it's job, ehh?
