[iamtechus]

Approximately 30 students voluntarily chose to be shot with a Taser by a sheriff's deputy during an annual career fair on Thursday. The Tasings were not authorized by the school district.

The incidents happened at Lake County High School where the Lake County Sheriff's Office had a booth.

Lake County Sheriff Ed Holt confirms a deputy did attend the career fair.

The school superintendent told 9NEWS one of the deputies decided to try a "dry-stun technique" on students.

There are no reports of serious injuries, but a letter did go out to parents telling them about the situation and asking them to check their children for any marks.

Leadville Police Chief Mike Leake says the Lake County District Attorney's office is now handling the case.
