Fatal school shooting in Cold Spring
A ninth-grader at Rocori High School in Cold Spring opened fire late Wednesday morning, which killed one student, senior Aaron Rollins, and critically injured ninth-grader Seth Bartell.
A teacher was able to talk the suspect into handing over the gun after the shootings had occurred. The boy was being held in an administrative office when police arrived.
Officials say this is the first fatal shooting in Minnesota by a student inside a school setting. A special mass was held Wednesday night at St. Boniface Church in remembrance of the tragedy.
NWA to cut airline employment
Northwest Airline CEO Richard Anderson said the company must bring costs down to the airline's amount of revenue by trying to lower labor costs by $950 million.
Since the terrorist attacks in 2001, Anderson has cut one-third of Northwest's management jobs, a 26 percent reduction in employment. They currently only have one manager for approximately every 225 employees.
Although cuts are being made, Anderson is investing money to modernize Northwest's fleet and hub airports. Northwest hopes to have new planes with seats that change into lie-flat beds in the business class, increasing the company's service to international travelers.
