Jesus fecking Christ, what a country. The parents read about it on their "fun stuff page."
Story out of St. Paul, Minnesota:
A gun that a first-grader brought to a St. Paul elementary school fired one round in a class full of students Thursday morning, police and the School District said. No one was injured.
Some parents first learned of the incident at Crossroads Elementary when Council Member Amy Brendmoen wrote about it on the Como Neighbors Fun Stuff page.
Police spokesman Sgt. Mike Ernster said his department was alerted at 8:40 a.m. that a 7-year-old student brought a handgun to the school, part of which is Montessori-based.
St. Paul School District spokeswoman Toya Stewart Downey said staff confiscated the weapon right away.
Downey added that no threats were directed at staff and students in connection with the gun being in the building. The principal e-mailed a letter to Crossroads families.
“Understandably, students were upset,” Celeste Carty wrote. “Our district crisis team and the police reassured the students that they were safe, that everything was OK and answered questions.”
Besides the e-mailed letter, Downey said the school put out a robocall informing all school families of the situation. The principal also called or talked to families of students who witnessed the gun going off. Cont.
