Fresno, CA (KFSN) -- A Roosevelt High School student has been shot and killed by the school's police officer. Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer says the shooting happened shortly before noon Wednesday on campus.
Dyer says the 17 year old sophomore attacked the officer with a modified bat, leaving the officer seriously injured.
According to Dyer, the officer managed to reach for his gun to protect himself but the clip fell out. Dyer says the officer reached for a second weapon he kept in an ankle holster and fired one shot at the student, killing him.
The school was put on lockdown and students were kept inside their classrooms. The officer has been taken to Community Regional Medical Center with a large gash to his head. He is expected to recover.

On the radio they said the kid blind sided the officer with the bat and was coming back after the downed officer when he fired his back up weapon at the kid.
Tragic...but if the story is completely accurate, I am glad the officer stopped this physco., or could be reading tommorrow about another school masacre.
