Student Charged as Adult in South Dakota School Shooting

A 16-year-old student has been charged with attempted murder in the shooting of a South Dakota high school principal.

Charges were filed against Mason Buhl as an adult.

Buhl is accused of shooting Harrisburg High School Principal Kevin Lein during school hours Wednesday.

He suffered an injury to his arm.

Buhl was subdued by other school officials and no one else was hurt.

Buhl’s father says his son has been very quiet over the past year and thinks he’s “just mad at everybody.”
