Quote:A sixth-grade girl shot two students and a custodian at an Idaho middle school on Thursday before being disarmed by a teacher, authorities said.
The Jefferson county sheriff, Steve Anderson, said the girl had fired multiple rounds inside and outside Rigby middle school in the small city of Rigby, about 95 miles south-west of Yellowstone national park.
She reportedly brought a pistol to school, pulled it from her backpack and started shooting, according to a local media report.
The girl lived in nearby Idaho Falls and has been taken into custody, Anderson said. Authorities did not release her name, and it is unclear what motivated the attack.
