FRANK SESNO, CNN ANCHOR: Officials say a 6-year-old Michigan girl was shot in school today by a fellow first-grader. It happened in Mount Morris Township near Flint, Michigan. Initial reports indicate the student brought a handgun to school and was showing it off to classmates when it was fired. We are joined now on the phone by Ed Garsten, who's at the school. Ed, what can you tell us?</s>ED GARSTEN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, Frank, authorities are keeping quite mum about the exact details of what may have happened. All we do know is that a 6-year-old first-grade girl was shot. The hospital -- neither the hospital nor police nor school officials will confirm her condition, or how she's doing. They have taken the first-grader that is believed to have done the shooting into custody. They're not saying at this point whether it was a boy or a girl. And you were correct in saying it's also unsure whether the shooting was intentional or whether the child was simply showing off the gun to classmates and the gun went off accidentally. We can tell you that the school has been evacuated and the children and the staff have been moved across the street to a church where they are being kept away and giving parents a chance to catch up with their children and make sure that they are OK and to comfort them. A news conference with police and school officials is scheduled to begin at any moment, and hopefully then, Frank, we'll have some concrete details on exactly what happened.</s>SESNO: And police presence noticeable?</s>GARSTEN: Police presence is quite noticeable. They're keeping the public a good distance a way. Crime tape is around the scene and they're trying to keep the scene as clean and secure as they can so they can get accurate evidence.</s>SESNO: Ed Garsten reporting from Mount Morris Township in Michigan. And, of course, as we get more information on this story as it develops throughout the day, we'll bring it right to you right here on CNN.
