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.[3] Bush would admit to the shooting, stating that she had intended to kill herself, but changed her mind because she wanted to "scare" Marchese.[4]
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.[5][6]
