Student injured in Lake Oswego High School accident.

Poorly written story about an accident at Lake Ridge High School in Lake Oswego Oregon, just south of Portland. Apparently some scenery being stored in the fly loft let loose during a muscians solo. The piece fell at least 20ft before striking the student who, last I heard, was in critical condition.

I'll post more as I get more info. I don't know the "person in charge" of the auditorium, but I've heard a couple of rumors.
Folks, if you don't know what you're doing, Don't Rig !

The school district will inspect all systems in the sky loft area before conducting future performances on the stage.

Hopefully systems includes personnel as well.

Not a student injured. It was an adult group on stage at the time. Rumor has it the piece hit three people on the way the down, and that the injuries sustained by the victim sent to the hospital were not life-threatening.

"The failure appeared to be isolated to the material that fell and does not involve any structural part of the facility."
In other words, somebody didn't know what they were doing...
