At least three wounded in a gun attack by a sixth-grade old girl in a school in Idaho, US on Thursday.

Shortly, a school teacher managed to disarm the girl. The wounded are two students and a school guard. The injures were not fatal, in addition, it is expected for the three persons to survive.

Jefferson County Sheriff Steve Anderson explained that the girl opened the fire randomly against a number of the students inside Rigby Middle School; she also expanded the scope of her fire beyond her school.

Next, she was disarmed until the security forces arrived at the scene and drove the girl into custody. Investigations have been conducted with her.

However, the motives behind the attack were not announced. “We don't have a lot of details at this time of ‘why' — that is being investigated,” Anderson said.

No further details were announced regarding the incident including the name of the girl.
