Boy, 15, takes TWO guns to Utah school and opens fire in Science lesson before parents disarm him and over 100 armed cops storm campus
The teen shot into the ceiling of the classroom before he had weapons taken from him and miraculously no one was harmed
A TEEN who took a handgun and shotgun to school prompted over 100 cops to descend on a campus in Utah after he fired the weapon into the ceiling of a classroom.
The 15-year-old was then disarmed by his parents who realised the guns were missing and raced to the site to get their son to hand them over.
"He kind of just stood there after he shot."
Calvin Smith, who was also in the room added: "He looked angry when he came in, like just kind of an angry face, and he just shot at the ceiling without an explanation. He didn’t really say anything.
"We all hit the deck because we all just didn’t want to get hurt. So we all went down."
However just moments after he fired, his mum and dad, who had been worried about his behaviour and followed him to school, were able to disarm him.
All the students hid under their desks, and his parents managed to pull him into a hallway.
Bountiful Police Chief Tom Ross: "They were concerned that there were weapons missing from the house.
"Both participated in apprehending him."
Ross added he was "extremely grateful for the parents for their involvement and the fact that this ended without any loss of life.";
The terrifying incident unfolded at 8.15am and luckily no one was injured when the gun was fired.
Cops have not yet revealed why the teen's parents were concerned or what his worrying behaviour was.
Police said they did not know initially whether it was the parents who called police or the school about their concerns before they arrived on site.
However it then transpired it was a teacher who had dialled 911.
Police identified the teen as a "white male."
They said he fired the shot intentionally, but the motif is not yet known.
He was taken to Farmington Bay Youth Center eight miles away and charged with two felony counts of theft of a firearm and two counts of bringing a firearm to school.
