NC high school student injured after explosion in chemistry class

GREENSBORO, NC (AP) — A high school student is recovering after her family says she was injured during an explosion during an on-campus chemistry class.

Media outlets report the injuries occurred last week at Western Guilford High School in Greensboro.

WXII-TV says the student — identified by her family as Aimee Green — was in good condition on Friday at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem. The hospital said nobody with that name was in its system Sunday night.

The Guilford County Schools has said a student was injured in an “incident” at Western Guilford but is saying little else.

The student’s mother said in a public Facebook post that her daughter’s hair, face, chest, hands and arm were burned.
