Student Charged With Attempted Murder

A 12 year old boy is charged with attempted murder after a student brought a gun to North Scott Junior High School Friday morning. 

Eldridge police say the .22 caliber handgun was loaded, but no shots were fired.  They credit a teacher with disarming the student before police arrived at the school. It was placed on lockdown while officers investigated. 

The 12 year old male student is charged with Attempted Murder and Carrying a Weapon on School Grounds. He is currently being held in the Scott County Juvenile Dentention Facility.

A native of Detroit, Herb Trix began his radio career as a country-western disc jockey in Roswell, New Mexico (“KRSY, your superkicker in the Pecos Valley”), in 1978. After a stint at an oldies station in Topeka, Kansas (imagine getting paid to play “Louie Louie” and “Great Balls of Fire”), he wormed his way into news, first in Topeka, and then in Freeport Illinois.
