Seaside Police Chief Abdul Pridgen said that a 17-year-old student was hit in the neck by debris falling from the ceiling or by bullet fragments.
The incident comes amid fierce debate about gun regulation following a shooting at a Florida High School in which 17 people were killed.
The NRA announced last week it was suing the state of Florida (Republican Governor Rick Scott) over a new gun law, banning the purchase of a weapon by youngsters under the age of 21, claiming it was unconstitutional.
The law also bans on a device that enables semi-automatic rifles to fire hundreds of rounds a minute. [Yahoo News]
