WEIRD NEWS

WHOA - We've Got a Sleepwalker! Better Cancel School! In Hempfield Township, Pennsylvania, Wendover Middle School canceled classes after a sleepwalking student was found inside the building. State police say the seventh-grade student called 911 on Wednesday around 2:30 a.m. to report he had been sleepwalking and woke up in the school. They believe the student entered the school through a window and wandered around for about 15 minutes. Police say the student lives about four miles from the school. The Hempfield Area School District cancelled classes Wednesday due to security concerns, and police swept the building. The district says the incident is not connected to another student's arrest earlier this week for allegedly threatening to shoot a female student.
