EASTON, Mass. (AP) — A former employee at a Massachusetts college faces charges for allegedly discharging a firearm on school grounds accidentally, injuring another employee.
The Bristol district attorney's office said Monday that 57-year-old Dean Tupper, of Easton, was arrested and charged with discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a building, making false statements to police, carrying a dangerous weapon on school grounds and other charges.
The office says his reckless handling of a firearm resulted in the accidental shooting Oct. 11 in the plumber's shop of Stonehill College's Clock Farm, across the street from the main campus.
