From Times Wire Reports

A 16-year-old student wounded a special-education teacher in the leg when he fired three blasts from a pump-action, 12-gauge shotgun in an Albany high school hallway, authorities said.

The student, a junior, was arrested at the school, police said. He pleaded not guilty to a charge of attempted murder and was being held in jail.

Police did not immediately disclose a motive for the shooting, which sent Columbia High School into lockdown before the arrest.
