Three Kids Injured After Loaded Gun Brought to School by 6 YO Discharges in Cafeteria at Houston Elementary School

SHAME: Three children were injured at Ross Elementary in Houston, TX, after a loaded gun brought to school by a six year old child discharged.

A pistol brought to Ross Elementary School by a 6-year-old kindergarten student fell to the cafeteria floor and discharged today, slightly injuring three children, a Houston school district spokesman said.

The injuries were not considered life-threatening, spokesman Jason Spencer said. The incident occurred about 10:22 a.m in the school at 2819 Bay, he said..

The boy who brought the gun was wounded in the foot, another 6-year-old boy was wounded in the leg and a 5-year-old girl was wounded in the foot when the gun fell out of the boy's pocket, Spencer said.

The students were either hit by a single bullet and/or fragments. The children were taken to Texas Children's Hospital and their parents notified, officials said. Police were investigating how the child obtained the gun. Source

I can't wait to hear the parents' explanation as to how their son came by this gun. Unless he found it on the school bus, there is no excuse and they should be jailed for negligence. That is assuming he of she lives in a home with both parents.
