It all happened after a 10-year student brought an unloaded gun to school, and we're told it was another student who got the gun away from him.
Parents of the students here got an automated phone call telling them what had happened. By late morning, the school was open again after police located the student and confiscated the weapon. By early afternoon, Portland Police had cleared the scene.
School officials say it was another student who noticed a 10-year old had a gun in his pocket. It was that student who grabbed the gun and gave it to teacher. The father of that student is upset. He claims he complained to the school because he says that same student also brought a gun to school two weeks ago, School officials say they investigated that claim and found no evidence.
Obviously good news the weapon wasn't loaded and that no one was injured in that incident. School officials say it’s probably a good time to have the conversation with your children. What to do, how to react in situations like this and what they shouldn't be bringing to school.
