Student back in school after shooting teacher

WELSH union chiefs yesterday called for a change in legislation after a school was forced to take back a pupil it expelled for shooting a teacher.

The 11-year-old is back at Llantwit Major Comprehensive School in south Wales after shooting his sociology master in the neck with a toy ball bearing gun.

School head Dr Michael Norton permanently expelled the pupil after the incident and was quickly backed up by his board of governors.
