On Monday afternoon, police received a phone call from the principal of Marinette High School, in Marinette, Wisc., alerting authorities that a Western Civilization class were being held at gunpoint on the campus.
The class was watching a film about Greek myths when a male student left the classroom. He returned moments later with a backpack.
"I was watching the movie and he came in, I wasn't paying any attention to him and I just saw some of my classmates see the gun and then everything just got really serious," said student Austin Biehl in an interview on "Good Morning America" this morning.
He pulled out a gun and shot the movie projector and ordered classmates to hand over their cell phones. He broke his own phone when it rang.
