"A teenager arrested on charges that he allegedly shot at
the home of the Los Lunas High School principal earlier
this year has pleaded not guilty.

...."The teenager is suspected of shooting at Dr. Dan
Webb's home in the early morning hours of Sept. 10. Webb
and his family were not hurt in during the incident.

"Bullet holes were discovered on the outer walls of the
home, front door, garage door and a front window,
according to the criminal complaint.

..."According to the criminal complaint, numerous
witnesses told police Arnold was with a group of friends
at his Los Lunas home on the night of Sept. 10 when
someone said that they should go to Webb's house and throw
rock at it.

"Someone present made a comment, 'What are rocks going to
do?' the criminal complaint says. Then someone responded
that they should shoot it instead."


________________________________________________________

These are exerpts from the story. Webb is a new principal
brought in from California. This district has had
problems with violence and safety issues for teachers for
a long time. I, personally, was physically assaulted by a
freshman and the district admin did absolutely nothing. I
had witnessed other staff assaults, as well as extremely
violent behaviors ingnored by the administration.

I am guessing that this new principal is actually trying
to impose sanctions for poor behavior, something children
in this town aren't used to.

The Webb's apparently were home asleep when the shooting
took place and, thank god, nobody was injured.
