Gunfire damages windows at Spokane high school

Gunfire has damaged five large thermal windows and a smaller upper window in a newly remodeled high school library in Spokane.

SPOKANE, Wash. —

Gunfire has damaged five large thermal windows and a smaller upper window in a newly remodeled high school library in Spokane.

Authorities said the shooting at Shadle Park High occurred sometime over the weekend. The bullets did not penetrate the inner part of the double-paned thermal windows but caused the outer part to crack in a web-like pattern.

The cost of repairs has yet to be determined. Dealy Etter of Garco Construction of Spokane says arrangements are being made to replace the windows.

Etter says the library was opened in September following completion of the first stage of a four-phase renovation of Shadle Park.
