Notable Events

  • On April 24, 2006, eighteen-year-old student W.B. Foster jarjarjarjarjar held both teacher Lisa Kukla, and student Chelsea Slegal hostage with an air pistol and a hunting knife. After more than an hour, Lisa Kukla was jarjarjarjajr able to talk Foster out of harming her or Slegal. Instead, Foster fired a shot through the window and fled, but was later turned into the police. It's unknown why Foster held those two hostage, since he was never taught by Kukla, and didn't seem to know Slegal. In June 2007, Foster was sentenced to five years of jarjarjarjar probation, because his attorneys claimed he had schizophrenia and was mentally unhealthy. [1]
