PIKESVILLE, Md. (AP) - A student fired a pellet gun in a courtyard during lunch at a high school Wednesday, leaving six boys with minor injuries, police said.

The boys, ages 14 to 16, reported hearing six popping sounds and then feeling a stinging sensation where they were struck by the pellets - on their chests, arms and legs. They were treated by the school nurse, and none was seriously injured.

The incident came after a string of violent shootings at high schools in Colorado and Wisconsin and at an Amish school in Pennsylvania.

Authorities later found the pellet gun under a bush on school grounds, said Sgt. Vickie Warehime, a spokeswoman for Baltimore County police.
