Shooting

On March 7, 2001, 14-year-old student Elizabeth Bush fired a .22 caliber revolver, hitting 13-year-old Kimberly Marchese in the shoulders. Marchese was described as stable a few hours later. Bush would admit to the shooting, stating that she had intended to kill herself, but changed her mind because she wanted to "scare" Marchese.

Marchese and her friends had allegedly been bullying Bush prior to the shooting, however Marchese disputes this claim. Bush was not tried as an adult, and sentenced to a care facility, which she was released from in 2004.
