Gun goes off in classroom after first grader brings it from home

Posted by | November 18, 2016 14:23 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly

The gun went off in a Minnesota first grade classroom.

The Minneapolis Star-Tribune said that no injuries were reported, but police and school officials are investigating the incident to determine how the 7-year-old student obtained the weapon.

Sgt. Mike Ernster — a spokesman for the St. Paul police — said that his department received a call around 8:40 a.m. that a child had brought a gun to school, but that, “Thankfully, no one was hurt.”

An official statement from the department said that the child’s family is cooperating fully with the investigation to determine who owns the gun — which the Twin Cities Pioneer Press identified as a .38 caliber handgun, how the child got access to it and how future incidents can be prevented.

    At least no one died, this time. How many children must die before something will be done? How many years will the deaths of over 30,000 people be just a cost of doing business? The insane gun fetish of Americans is killing innocent people and the Republican Party and the NRA have that blood on their hands.

      But they are “pro-life” so that counts for something, right?

        They are pro-fetus, but anti-life and definitely anti-humanity.
