Shocking School Incident: 14-Year-Old Student Shoots Teacher in Uttarakhand

Disturbing Event in Kashipur

Rudrapur: In a shocking incident in Kashipur, Uttarakhand, a 14-year-old student reportedly shot his teacher during class after being reprimanded. The police confirmed the arrest of the juvenile on Thursday.

The event unfolded on Wednesday when the student used a firearm concealed in his lunch box to shoot Gagan Singh, aged 35.

Fortunately, Singh survived the attack, with the bullet striking his shoulder. He was promptly taken to a medical facility where doctors successfully removed the bullet, and he is now reported to be out of danger.

Initial investigations indicated that the student had been disciplined by Singh a few days prior, which led to his anger and the subsequent shooting.

After interviewing witnesses and reviewing CCTV footage, authorities filed an attempt to murder charge against the student, who is currently in custody, according to Kashipur SP Abhay Pratap Singh.

The accused is anticipated to appear before the Juvenile Justice Board shortly.

During questioning, the student disclosed details about how he acquired the weapon.

In response to the incident, the 'Public School Association' ordered the closure of all CBSE-affiliated private schools in the Udham Singh Nagar district on Thursday.

Udham Singh Nagar SSP Manikant Mishra stated that a thorough investigation will be conducted and emphasized the importance of parents and teachers monitoring students for any behavioral changes.
