Student opens fire

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WESTMINSTER, Colo. —
A boy fired several shots in a
Ranum High School courtyard
Wednesday after confronting
another student in a hallway,
authorities said. No injuries
were reported.
A police officer assigned to
the school chased the boy and
captured him nearby, Adams
County sheriff’s Capt. Craig
Coleman said.
The 14-year-old boy, who is
a freshman at Ranum, was taken
to the Adams County Jail,
Coleman said. All 24 schools in
Adams County School District
50 were locked down.
The boy and a 15-year-old
student were involved in a con
frontation in the hallway and the
younger boy waved his hand
inside his coat pocket, indicating
that he had a gun, Coleman said.
The two went out into a
school courtyard, where the boy
pulled out a small semi-auto
matic handgun, authorities said.
The older student and two others
in the courtyard ran inside as the
boy fired at least four shots, hit
ting the building’s facade twice,
Coleman said.
“This is pretty tragic. I cer
tainly hope it wasn’t his parents’
gun, but I can’t imagine where
else he would have gotten it,”
Coleman said.
The boy was expected to face
attempted murder charges,
Coleman said.
Shell casings were littered
around the grounds of the
school. Yellow police tape
stretched across the courtyard.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — The dentist
accused of running down her
orthodontist husband after con
fronting him with his lover last
summer took the stand in her
own defense Wednesday,
describing how their marriage
crumbled under the weight of
his infidelity.
“We were best friends. We
were very much in love,” Clara
Harris said of her 10-year mar
riage to David Harris, which
ended July 24 in the parking lot
of a suburban Houston hotel
parking lot when she ran over
him with her Mercedes-Benz
after catching him with his
acknowledged lover.
“We are mature people. We
had both gone through divorce.
We felt like there was no better
couple than us. We were a per
fect team,” she said.
Clara Harris claims the death
was accidental. Prosecutor Mia
Magness contends it was inten
tional, making it murder.
Harris spent about 90 min
utes on the stand Wednesday
morning before a lunch break
and defense attorney George
Parnham had not yet questioned
her about the night of David
Harris’ death.
Shortly after the break, how
ever, Parnham grew woozy and
buckled in a courthouse hallway,
according to witnesses.
He appeared alert as deputies
and associates, then paramedics,
