Columbine comment gets AC student suspended

Decatur Daily Democrat:

A non-violent incident at Adams Central High School on Monday brought about the suspension of a student.

A sophomore made a remark to another student in regards to "Columbine at Adams Central Schools," Superintendent Mike Pettibone said Tuesday. School officials reacted immediately upon hearing of the comment, "but found no evidence that this was not more than a very inappropriate statement," according to Pettibone.

"However, the school is treating this as very serious," Pettibone said in a letter to parents of students at AC.
