the buttocks, and both were listed in serious
condition.
A .380-caliber handgun was found on the
fifth floor, along with three shell casings,
authorities said.
The school was swiftly locked down and stu
dents kept in their classrooms as police in riot
gear swept the building on Amsterdam Avenue
between 65th and 66th streets.
“They wanted us to be in the room, locked
up until they had things under control,” said
senior Giorlys Alvarez, 17, who was locked in a
classroom for more than an hour.
The school's metal detectors and X-ray
machines were working Tuesday, Police
Commissioner Ray Kelly said.
Teacher Octavia Melian said the school had
previous problems with students breaching
security. She said students would pass through
the metal detectors, then open side doors for
their friends to smuggle guns and other items
inside.
“It’s been a constant concern with the facul
ty and the student body,” she said.
The shooting was the first inside a New York
City public school since September 1994.
according to the teachers’ union. The school
district is the nation’s largest, with more than a
million pupils and 80,(XX) teachers.
NEWS IN BRIEF
Prosecutors request
coroner’s inquiry into
1999 Columbine death
GOLDEN, Colo. (AP) — Prosecutors have
requested a coroner's inquest into the
death of a Columbine High School student
whose parents claim was accidentally killed
by an officer during the 1999 massacre.
Daniel Rohrbough's parents say he was
shot by a Denver SWAT team member who
rushed to the school after teen gunmen Eric
Harris and Dylan Klebold began their April
20, 1999, assault. The sheriff's report on the
shooting says Rohrbough was shot by
Klebold.
Coroner Carl Blesch said he hoped to
decide on the inquest request by Thursday.
Barry Arrington, the parents' lawyer, said
Monday he would ask the coroner to delay
an inquest until other investigative methods
have been exhausted.
He said he favors the creation of a legisla
tive commission that could issue subpoenas
and take testimony in private, allowing wit
nesses to be more candid.
Jefferson County District Attorney Dave
Thomas had earlier declined to call a grand
jury. He said the coroner would have sub
poena power, though not as extensive as a
grand jury.
