A 17-year-old senior walked into a Camden (Ark.) High School biology class with two handguns, fired a shot into a wall, abducted a classmate and held the school principal and his assistant hostage. The boy, Michael Collier, later surrendered to police and was charged with kidnaping and aggravated assault, Sgt. Harvey Dunn, a police detective, said. No one was injured during the incident, and Collier was released under $10,000 bond. He told police that he had been under pressure from his parents and classmates, and was failing a class.
