NEW INDEPENDENCE TOWNSHIP, Minn. (FOX 9) - St. Louis County Sheriff's Office investigators believe a school gymnasium window was shot in New Independence Township, Minnesota, according to a press release.

Just before 1 p.m. Wednesday, deputies responded to a report that a gymnasium window at South Ridge School may have been shot at. After investigating, officials believe a shotgun fired from the direction of Swan Lake Road damaged the window. The shooting likely happened in the last 24 hours and not during school hours.
