While those questions still remain to be answered, Principal Lein and administrators say they won’t let the incident define them.

“You’re haunted a bit”, he said. I was sitting in the chair where I was shot yesterday.

The Sioux Falls School District is taking its direction from police, she said.

“My deep prayers to Mason”. The school was placed on lockdown and a school bus arrived at 11 a.m.to take students to the Harrisburg Middle School, where parents were able to pick up their children.

It is no surprise Lein is thinking about others before himself.

Zell ruled there was probable cause for the charges and said for the safety of the public and for Buhl himself, he would not allow the 16-year-old to be released and would not set a bond.

“I just thought they needed a little comfort”.

Kristin McClure Stephenson, 25, of Waynesville, was charged Monday with one felony count of possession of a firearm on educational property, the Henderson County Sheriff’s Office said.

He’s being charged as an adult. He made his first court appearance in Canton on Thursday. She says Lein later told students by intercom that he had been shot “but was fine”.

“We’re safe, guys. This was one aberration”. Butler has been a defense lawyer in many high-profile criminal cases in South Dakota over the years.

“I was just sitting at home and we heard a few ambulances and a few sirens coming in”.

According to the biography on his website, Lein has been principal at Harrisburg High School since 2010. He said his son’s been quiet over the past year.

“Kind of burned me right there”. “If he already shot once, who knows?”

Classes resumed Thursday, and Lein and Rollinger returned to the job “not on my accord but on their accord”, said superintendent Jim Holbeck. “That’s certainly not our state”.
