Alabama student grazed by bullet during bomb threat investigation at high school

An Alabama student was grazed by a bullet at school Wednesday during a bomb threat investigation.

Police responded at 12:45 p.m. Wednesday to Anniston High School after a school resource officer was alerted to a bomb threat, said Anniston police Capt. Matt Caballero.
