Where are parents keeping guns these days, in the kitchen drawer below the silverware?A fifth-grade student has been suspended from a Douglasville elementary school for bringing a gun to school.
The child, who has not been named, apparently had the unloaded weapon in a backpack and it fell out as students were packing up to be dismissed, according to Melissa Joe, principal of Arbor Station Elementary.
Several students saw the gun and told the teacher, who confiscated the weapon and took the child to the office, according to Joe's message on the school's website.
"We are fortunate to have dedicated students and adults at our school who genuinely care about each other," Joe said in the message.
The incident has been turned over to police, Joe said.
