No one hurt in school hostage situtation

A standoff at rural Las Plumas High School in Oroville, Calif., ended without bloodshed Friday after an armed youth freed the three classmates he held hostage for nearly two hours, and then surrendered peacefully. Butte County sheriff's deputies took the 17-year-old gunman into custody and determined that no one on the 1,420-student campus had been injured. The three shots fired during the incident were all aimed at the ceiling. About 30 students and a teacher were in the Las Plumas band room where the incident began at 9:14 a.m. All but five students were allowed to leave or escaped.
