COLUMBIA — In the weeks since a Ridge View High School student was shot in the school's parking lot, different versions of the story have emerged. The Richland County Sheriff's Department says the student was injured with an "air-powered gun" on the morning of April 30. The school's principal echoed that description in a reported message to parents at the time, describing it as an airsoft pistol, a toy similar to a BB gun.

COLUMBIA — Kyng's approach was textbook. Tasked with spelling out the word "drop," the first grader at Logan Elementary School had instead written "drip" onto his laminated sheet with a dry-erase marker. But, quickly realizing that spelling was off, he started sounding the word out aloud, thinking hard and teasing out the correct vowel sound, until he wiped off the "i" and replaced it with an "o." He knew the word had that letter, he said soon after, because of its sound.
