Florida Pre-K Student Brings Gun To Class
PALATKA, Fla. (CBS4) – Most pre-kindergarten students bring stuffed animals or toys to school, but a North Florida pre-K student has been suspended from school after authorities say he brought a loaded gun into his classroom.
Palatka police say they're investigating how the 5-year-old obtained the weapon. A teacher at Moseley Elementary School was giving a music lesson when the 22-caliber pistol fell out of the child's pocket.
The child told authorities he found the gun in a vehicle belonging to his stepfather.
No injuries were reported.
