Cooper said the 14-year-old was handling the gun on the bus on the ride home to Dolan Springs the same day when it fired, shooting a 15-year-old student in the leg. The student’s injury was descrobed as serious but not life-threatening. Cooper said the shooting appeared to have been reckless but unintentional.
