WOODBRIDGE, Calif. (AP) — An 11-year-old Northern California boy died after shooting himself during a Zoom distance-learning class while his microphone and camera were off.
The San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office says deputies were called to a home in Woodbridge Wednesday morning and found the boy with a self-inflicted head wound. He died at a hospital.
Deputies told KOVR-TV that the boy's microphone and camera were off when he shot himself during a sixth-grade Zoom class.
The Woodbridge Elementary School student's name and other details weren't immediately released.
The school district is offering counseling and bereavement support to staff and students.
