Wyandotte Superintendent: 'Our Thoughts and Prayers Are With the Family and the Southgate Community' (UPDATED)

Superintendent Carla Harting of Wyandotte Public Schools said the district is offering social workers, counselors and buses to nearby Southgate Community Schools Thursday morning, after a student shot himself at Davidson Middle School.

The 13-year-old student shot himself in the head with a .40 caliber hand gun in a bathroom inside the school and was rushed to Oakwood Southshore Medical Center where he died, according to myfoxdetroit.com.

Harting said staff at district buildings have been notified, and she would not be canceling classes.

"This is not something we would announce to the students," Harting said. "Our principals, social workers and counselors would talk to any students having difficulty."

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and the Southgate community as they go through this difficult time."
