Teen Critically Injured When He Falls Through Grate On Roof Of Abandoned School

FLINT (CBS Detroit) A Flint teen has been critically injured in a fall through the roof of a closed school.

Flint Police Lt. Devon Bernritter said a 16-year-old boy and three pals were on the roof of the closed Johnson Elementary School last evening when the teen crashed through.

"The person that fell was either standing or jumping on a louvered ventilation grate on the roof, that grate could not bear his weight and he fell into the gym," Bernritter explained.

Bernritter says none of the other kids fell.

The victim is in critical condition. "He is quite seriously injured," Bernritter said.
