Reno Police and other law enforcement agencies were called to a report of shots fired at Hug High School a little before 11:30 this (Wednesday) morning. Reno Police Officer Tim Broadway says the response was quick and total:
Police say they determined that a Washoe County Schools Police officer had shot a 14-year-old boy had been threatening other students with at least one knife. The schools officer reportedly ordered the boy to drop the knife, and, when he failed to do so, the officer fired his pistol striking the boy once. The boy was taken to a local hospital in critical condition Officer Broadway says detectives are trying to determine the boy's motive.
