Boise: A sixth-grade girl injured three- two students and a staff- after she opened fire at her middle school in the USA's Idaho state on Thursday.
Fortunately, a teacher managed to disarm her before she could inflict further damage, reports said.

According to Jefferson County Sheriff Steve Anderson, the girl pulled out a handgun from her bag and started firing indiscriminately.
Reports added that a female teacher managed to disarm and restrain her until cops arrived.
