Student who accidentally fired shot reinstated


Did he "accidently" bring a handgun into school?
There's got to be more to this story ........ or maybe less .........


Student who accidentally fired shot reinstated: "An Ottawa Hills High School student expelled for accidentally firing a gun in the school was unanimously reinstated Monday.
But district staff members believe the student plans to attend classes in another district. Joseph Davon Davis was 16 when a handgun accidentally fired in a school lavatory on Oct. 5, 2006. State law requires a mandatory 180-day expulsion, and students are permitted to apply to be reinstated.
District spokesman John Helmholdt said reports indicate Davis completed counseling and community service. 'There is a sense that this is a young man who recognizes he made a mistake and wants to right a wrong,' he said."
