Youth had climbed onto roof of junior high in Holladay, Utah

A 16-year-old boy walking on the roof of Bonneville Junior High School in Holladay, Utah, plummeted to his death when he fell 40 feet through a glass skylight and onto the floor of the school's gymnasium. The teen, who was not identified, did not attend the junior high or Granite School District. A soccer coach driving into the parking lot spotted the teen near the edge of the roof and the two made eye contact, police say. The Holladay teen ran. Seconds later, there was a crashing noise.
