SEATTLE (AP) ? Police say a gun brought to a Washington state elementary school in a third grader's backpack discharged, apparently by accident, critically wounding an 8-year-old classmate.
Investigators were trying to determine how the 9-year-old boy got the gun and why he brought it to school, a Bremerton, Wash., police spokesman said.
"At this stage of the investigation, detectives believe the shooting was accidental," Lt. Peter Fisher said in a statement late Wednesday.
At the end of Wednesday's school day, a bullet went through the backpack and hit the little girl, Fisher said.
Amina Kocer-Bowman was in critical condition Wednesday night after surgery at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, hospital spokeswoman Leila Gray said.
The Bremerton Schools superintendent's office said the girl was shot in the abdomen.
KING-TV reported that her friends and relatives gave a 'thumbs up' signal to reporters as they left the hospital late Wednesday.
The boy who brought the gun to Armin Jahr Elementary in Bremerton was booked into Kitsap County juvenile detention for investigation of unlawful possession of a gun, bringing a dangerous weapon to school and third-degree assault.
The gun was recovered from a classroom. Police did not immediately describe it.
Bremerton Schools spokeswoman Patty Glaser said the school, with about 400 students, planned to be open for classes on Thursday. She said three counselors would be available to talk with teachers, students and parents.
The school is in a quiet residential neighborhood about 20 miles west of Seattle, across Puget Sound.
Fisher said officers and emergency crews were dispatched to the school around 1:30 p.m. Wednesday in response to a call that a student was shot by another student.
The school went into lockdown immediately after the shooting, Glaser said. Parents picked up their children later in the afternoon.
In the latest rating by the Brady Campaign, a national gun control advocacy group, Washington scored no points in the child safety category because the state does not require trigger locks for guns and lacks laws to prevent child access to firearms.
"Washington state is a loosely regulated state when it comes to firearms," said Gregory Roberts, executive director of Washington Cease Fire, a Brady Campaign affiliate.
Amanda Roth, a staff attorney for the San Francisco-based Legal Community Against Violence, said 27 states and the District of Columbia have some form of firearm child access prevention laws. Such laws can include requirements to use gun locks and criminal penalties for adults who allow children to get their hands on guns.

Shanghai court hears lawsuit against Apple over use of iPad ...
It also contends that the Chinese LCD maker has not marketed or sold its own ?IPAD,? or Internet Personal Access Device for years, thus possibly invalidating its claim to the trademark.
The hearing adjourned after a fractious four-hour session which saw the judge repeatedly admonishing both sides to observe proper court protocol as they argued across the courtroom. No date was announced for a judgment or further hearings.
?Apple has no right to sell iPads under that name,? Xie said. ?The agreement to sell the trademark is not valid under Chinese law.?
Proview is suing to have Apple stop selling the iPad in China under that name. It has also sought to have commercial authorities in many cities order sales to stop. Ma Xiaodong, another Proview lawyer, said after the hearing that the company plans to file lawsuits against Apple in other cities.
Apple?s lawyers demanded that Proview provide evidence that its product is actually marketed in China, contending that the heavily indebted Chinese company has no ability to produce the IPAD. They also demanded Proview provide guarantees it could pay compensation for any losses if the court were to halt iPad sales pending a final decision on ownership of the trademark. The Proview side said it could pay in cash.
Apple has appealed an earlier ruling against it in a court in Shenzhen, a city in southern China?s Guangdong province. The Guangdong High Court is due to hear that case on Feb. 29.
Earlier, Xie said that since no final decisions have been reached in various legal disputes over the issue, both sides were ?still able to sit together and reach an out-of-court settlement.? Apple has shown no indication of willingness to settle.
The trademark case is highlighting mixed attitudes toward Apple in China. Chinese are just as crazy about iPads and iPhones as consumers anywhere else and the devices are manufactured in China, employing hundreds of thousands of people.
But public awareness has been growing of criticism over the labor and environmental practices of huge factories that assemble the devices. Taiwan?s Foxconn Technology Group, which makes iPads in China, has been under intense scrutiny after a spate of worker suicides. It recently raised wages by up to 25 percent in the second major salary hike in less than two years.
Apple, based in Cupertino, California, insists it holds the trademark rights to the iPad in China, having purchased them from Proview for 35,000 British pounds ($55,000) through a company set up for that purpose.
A court in Hong Kong, which has a separate legal system from mainland China, ruled in July that Proview had acted with the intention of ?injuring Apple.? Proview?s lawyers argued Wednesday that any rulings in Hong Kong were not admissable in Chinese courts.
So far, iPads have been pulled from shelves in some Chinese cities but there has been no sign of action at the national level.

One-Night Stay for One or Two with Meals, Fitness Classes, and Spa ...
Health-and-Wellness Retreat in Lakeside Setting
A former dairy farm may seem like an unusual choice to open a health-and-wellness retreat. Yet in 1983, Heartland Spa & Fitness Resort transformed one into a holistic spa center and garnered national attention?perhaps due in part to one famous guest, Oprah Winfrey. Surrounded by 32 acres of woodlands on a 3-acre lake, the spa has been praised as ?uniquely Midwestern and unpretentious? by the Chicago Sun-Times. The red barn and surrounding grounds now house workout facilities and a spa, replete with an indoor pool, whirlpool, and sauna.
A low-fat, low-sodium, house-made meal courtesy of Heartland?s chef greets arriving guests, kick-starting 24 hours of healthy eating. Afterward, settle into the five-bedroom, two-bathroom Coach House for a good night?s sleep. The next day?s breakfast starts the day with nutritious vegetarian dishes, including egg-white frittatas, oatmeal, and peanut-butter-and-banana muffins.
Heartland Spa & Fitness Resort?s two-to-one staff-to-guest ratio ensures all guests are supported and pampered as they unwind. An underground tunnel connects the manor to the spa barn and shields out the cold. Yoga, Pilates, tai chi, cardio kickboxing, and other fitness classes take place throughout the day, and a locker room fully equipped with a sauna and hot tub makes for a relaxing reprieve. Other spa services await, including an aromatherapy manicure ($ 40) or a Brazilian bikini wax ($ 50). Before departing, guests enjoy a peaceful lunch in one of Heartland?s common areas, which are technology-free to avoid interruptions from cell phones and tractor beams.

Hepatitis C Deaths Rising, Baby Boomers Most At Risk: CDC Report
Associated Press:
Deaths from liver-destroying hepatitis C are on the rise, and new data shows baby boomers especially should take heed -- they are most at risk.
Federal health officials are considering whether anyone born between 1945 and 1965 should get a one-time blood test to check if their livers harbor this ticking time bomb. The reason: Two-thirds of people with hepatitis C are in this age group, most unaware that a virus that takes a few decades to do its damage has festered since their younger days.
