TULELAKE, Calif. (AP) - A Northern California high school principal has resigned amid accusations that he shot at students with a BB gun during a school function.

The Herald and News reports (https://bit.ly/2qB5Td2 ) Tulelake High School Principal Dean Teig’s resignation letter was signed by district officials on Tuesday.

The district is investigating whether or not Teig shot at students with a BB gun at a park during a celebration for seniors. Teig is accused of leaving the celebration, changing his clothes and coming back with a BB gun after students doused him with water.



Cell phone video taken at the park shows Teig with a BB gun but does not show him shooting it.

Superintendent Vanessa Jones says no students were hit by a BB. She says the district is diligently investigating the claims.
