3rd-Grader Critically Injured in School Shooting; 5 Die in Atlanta Murder-Suicide 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



A third-grade student in Washington state is in critical condition after
being shot by a classmate who brought a gun to school. The gun
apparently went off accidentally in the classmate's backpack. In a
separate shooting incident on Wednesday, five people were killed at a
spa in suburban Atlanta in what appeared to be a murder-suicide.
