Prosecutors consider charges after 'teacher shot pupil at school' Backbench politician, Deputy Trevor Pitman, said parents deserved to know exactly what had happened. "For a teacher to fire a starting pistol in a child's face, something must have gone seriously wrong," he said. Jersey can be a very secretive place but parents must have answers. The alleged victim's name and age have not been revealed but it is understood that he is in his mid-teens. The States of Jersey Police said its officers were working with the boy, his family, other pupils and teachers at the mixed secondary school for children aged 11 to 16 to find out what happened. The police and the island's education department said in a joint statement: "We can confirm that there was an incident at Le Rocquier School involving a starting pistol. Fortunately no serious injury was involved. The States of Jersey Police have worked with the school, students and families during the course of their investigations, which have now been concluded. The file has been passed to the Jersey Law Officers for review.
