BEDFORD, Tenn. (AP) — A
15-year-old boy killed his father
with a rifle yesterday, then shot
and wounded his mother when
he fired at the bathroom door
she was hiding behind, police
said.
Matthew Hardrick was cap
tured shortly after the shooting
when he crashed his family’s car
about 25 miles from home.
“He was crying and banging
his head against the side of the
window” of the police car fol
lowing his arrest, Columbia po
lice Lt. James Hanvy said.
Police did not say if they knew
of a possible motive. The boy
was charged with first degree
murder and attempted murder.
Officers learned of the shoot
ing when the boy’s mother,
Eleanor Hardrick, waved over a
motorist outside her home.
She was bleeding from a bul
let wound to the leg and had
gashes on her head.
Police arrived to find the
body of James Hardrick, 59, in
the living room.
He was lying on a couch
when he had been shot in the
head with a rifle.
Hardrick said her son shot
her husband. She said she ran
into a bathroom and locked the
door, but her son shot off the
knob, wounding her, Bedford
County Sheriff Clay Parker said.
When she ran outside, her
son followed and beat her, then
took off in the car.
Hardrick, a sophomore at
Shelbyville Central High School,
has a juvenile arrest record but
police refused to give details.
Hardrick, 53, was listed in
fair condition at a hospital. Bed
ford is 45 miles south of
Nashville.

School board changes ruli
on wearing religious symbtlKid
GULFPORT, Miss. (AP) — A Jewish student told to
hide his Star of David necklace at school may wear it
freely, the school board said in reversing its ruling that
the pendant could be viewed as a gang symbol.
“When we made the decision last week, it was based
on information from the security officers only,” Harri
son County School Board president Randy Williams
said after Monday’s vote. “But we realized that it in
fringed on freedom of religious expression, and that
freedom supersedes the safety issue.”
The School Board voted unanimously to exempt re
ligious symbols from its policy prohibiting students
from wearing anything that could be viewed as a gang
symbol.
Ryan Green, a junior at Harrison Central High
School, wore his Star of David pendant at registration
and on the first day of school early this month. He was
told to tuck it beneath his shirt because it®
terpreted as a gang symbol.
Security officials had told board member

Study suggests diabetic drivers pose daKis"
CHICAGO (AP) — Diabetics of
ten decide to drive even when their
blood-sugar levels are so low that
they could lose coordination and
even black out, a study suggests.
“That is not to mean that they
should necessarily have their dri
vers’ privileges taken away or re
stricted,’’ said Dr. William L.
Clarke of the University of Vir
ginia Health Sciences Center at
Charlottesville.
Clarke said diabetics should be
aware of the danger of relying on
their ability to detect low blood
sugar without measuring it.
Almost 45 percent of the time,
the diabetics in the study said
they would drive when they be
lieved their blood sugar to be be
low 70 milligrams per 10th of a
liter of blood.
Previous research among dia
betics using driving simulators
has shown that blood-sugar levels
below 65 lead to loss of control —
