A former student entered E. E. Smith High School in Cumberland County Saturday, where students were in class making up a recent snow day, and fired a BB pistol at the wall near the principal's office.
Surveillance video showed Antionwan Haskins, 17, of the 600 block of Walker Street, fired a second shot, damaging the principal's car, in the school parking lot before he ran from the property.
