8 year old brings handgun to school


A third-grader at Sharp-Leadenhall Elementary School, was found to be in possession of a .380 caliber handgun on Thursday. Teachers said that the student was acting weird so they searched his backpack and found the gun they immediately called police. Both the teacher and the parents were shocked! The boy was arrested and taken to the Department of Juvenile Services.Police are trying to find the gun's owner, along with where the gun was bought and how the student got the gun. School staff members are being reconized for acting swiftly and making sure no one got hurt. School officials said once the investigation is complete, the student could be suspended or expelled.

I think that the teachers did a good job at reacting to this and i hope that they find out who gave the boy the gun. No one that young should even have hands on a gun without the help of a parent or a parent near by.
