READING, Pa. (AP) - November 12, 2008
Reading High School students were confronted with metal
detectors at the only open entrance on Tuesday. About 600 of the
3,800 arriving students were searched as they entered. Then hand
wands were used for random searches of other students, and of
lockers.
Principal Wynton Butler says the random searches and the locker
searches will continue.
Three Reading High students are facing assault charges in two
recent incidents. Authorities say in the past two weeks, one
student has been cut on the shoulder during a fight, and a security
guard has been shot in the hand by a student wielding a pellet gun.
