GILLETTE, Wyo. (AP) - A Wyoming couple has created a reward fund for a Gillette junior high school student who told administrators that a fellow student brought a gun to school on Nov. 13.
The Gillette News Record reports the fund was created by Joel and Adreanna Elbert whose daughter was in class with the 14-year-old boy who brought two guns to Sage Valley Junior High with plans to shoot students and staff.
The reporting student will be given the money from the Sage Valley Hero account at Campco Federal Credit Union account through school staff. The reporting student’s name hasn’t been made public.
Joel Elbert says it’s a small way to thank the student who prevented what could have been another school shooting.
The 14-year-old has been charged as an adult with nine counts of attempted first-degree murder.
