*Shots fired in Portsmouth high school*
No one was injured Wednesday when a 15-year-old student entered Woodrow Wilson High School in Portsmouth and opened fire.
While all Portsmouth middle and high schools are equipped with metal detectors at the front door, the student was apparently let into the school through a side door by another student.
He then entered a classroom, brandished the gun, left the room and fired the gun at the wall of an unoccupied classroom.
The student then proceeded to the cafeteria, where he fired two shots at the ceiling before putting the gun down on a table and fleeing.
The student was arraigned Thursday morning. He was charged with discharging a firearm within or at an occupied school, brandishing a firearm on school property or within 1,000 feet of school property and underage possession of a firearm.
