FARMINGTON, Utah (AP) — A Utah teenager accused of firing a shotgun into the ceiling of a junior high classroom before being disarmed by his parents has agreed to a plea deal with prosecutors.
The Standard-Examiner in Ogden reports the 15-year-old boy pleaded guilty Monday to two felony charges: theft of a firearm and shooting toward a building. He had been charged with five felony and misdemeanor counts.
Police say the teenager walked into a science classroom and fired into the ceiling on Dec. 1 before his parents caught up him with him and disarmed him. No one was hurt.
Authorities said the parents became concerned and followed him to school after discovering a shotgun and handgun missing from their home.
The Associated Press is not naming the boy because of his age.
