The girl was disarmed by a teacher at Rigby Middle School in Rigby, Idaho, a remote community about 270 miles (435 km) east of Boise, and held until law enforcement arrived, Jefferson County Sheriff Steve Anderson said. Students were sent home with their parents immediately after the shootings and classes will be cancelled on Friday, Jefferson School District Superintendent Chad Martin said. Several law enforcement agencies are involved in the investigation of the shooting, which happened shortly after 9am local time, Jefferson County Sheriff Anderson said. Depending on the outcome of the investigation, Jefferson County Prosecuting Attorney Mark Taylor said charges against the girl could include three counts of attempted murder. "Thank you to our law enforcement agencies and school leaders for their efforts in responding to the incident," Little said on Twitter.
