Tennessee 5-year-old detained after firing handgun in school cafeteria
Can we please, please, please arrest these parents and get the kid in foster care before it's too late??
A 5-year-old kindergartener has reportedly been detained at a school in Tennessee after a handgun discharged in the cafeteria.
Shawn Pachucki with Shelby County Schools told WMCT that police were called to Westside Elementary School following a gunshot that happened in the cafeteria at around 7:30 a.m. Pachucki said that the child brought the gun to school in a backpack and it accidentally discharged.
This morning at Westside Elementary School, a Kindergarten student brought a firearm to school in his backpack, a statement from Shelby County Schools said. While waiting for the opening bell in the cafeteria, the firearm discharged accidentally inside the childs backpack. Nobody was injured, and staff immediately took possession of the backpack.
The statement added: SCS Security and the Memphis Police Department responded quickly, and the matter is now under investigation. There is no evidence at this time of harmful intent; however, weapons of any kind are prohibited on campuses, and this student will be disciplined in accordance with the states zero tolerance policy.
Reports said that the child was being held inside the principals office.
Why are his parents names and pictures up on the news so they can be publicly shamed as the worst parents ever?
Gun nuts will say this was an accident and that no harm was intended.
Name and shame the parents, what kind of losers allow a loaded gun to be in reach of a five year old, and don't even notice it is missing?
