Police Chief Rich St. John said on Monday that three teens were involved, including Schulte. Schulte and another friend, who were spending the night together, left where they were staying and show up at their friend's house, St. John said. Schulte and his friend knocked on their friend's window and threw pebbles at the house to get their friend to wake up. The 17-year-old teen who lived at the house was startled by the noise and saw faces outside the window.
He told investigators he did not know who they were and was scared, causing him to grab a gun in his bedroom. The teen fired the gun through the window and struck Schulte in the head. The other unidentified teen was not hurt. Police said the 17-year-old boy was questioned but later released. No one has been arrested, but the investigation is ongoing. Counsellors were available to students and staff at Senior on Monday.
Superintendent Terry Bouck praised the crisis team saying the group has done a 'wonderful job with our staff and administration.' "I cannot say enough about how the Senior High community, staff and students have stepped up in a difficult situation," Bouck said. "I think we get together to make the best of a terrible situation. We're just working hard to make sure our students feel comfortable and safe and that they feel supported."

Of all the options this kid had, this is the one he chose? This should have been the last choice. He could have called the cops, his parents, or even opened the friggin' window to see who it is. Something weird about this. Even for the states.
It's not just the States, it's Montana, one of those places where every self-respecting man relies on his weapon. Unfortunately, there are no IQ tests involved, let alone common sense tests.
