Student injured on bus as friend shows off gun

A middle school student in North Carolina is recovering after being shot in the leg aboard a school bus when a friend showed off a handgun.

The Wake County School System says the shooting occurred this morning.
Officials didn't name the students.

School system spokesman Michael Evans says the wounded student was grazed in the leg by a .22-caliber bullet.
The boy was taken to Rex Hospital where he was in good conditions and was expected to be released soon.
Evans said a student apparently found a gun at home and was bringing it to school in a book bag. When he took it out to show his friend, the gun discharged.
The boy with the pistol was being interviewed by investigators.
There was no word on whether anyone would be charged.
