<p>A student armed with a handgun held nearly two dozen students and a teacher hostage in a US high school for about five hours before shooting himself when police broke into the classroom. </p>
<p>Officers who were outside the classroom at Marinette High School, Wisconsin, said they heard three gunshots shortly after 8 pm and busted through the door, said police chief Jeff Skorik. The 15-year-old male gunman then shot himself. </p>
<p>No other injuries were reported.</p>
<p>Skorik said the teenager was taken to an area hospital and his condition was not immediately known.</p>
<p>Five of the 23 students who had been taken hostage about 3 pm on Monday had been released about 20 minutes before police entered the classroom because they told the gunman they had to use the bathroom, Skorik said.</p>
<p>The other 18 students and the female teacher, who had acted as a mediator between the male hostage-taker and authorities, were released unharmed once officers were inside.</p>
<p>Skorik said the gunman had refused to communicate with officials during the stand-off, but allowed the teacher to speak with authorities by phone.</p>
