Investigation of the incident resulted in the search of the child, book bag and the classroom areas which resulted in no additional rounds being found. Interview of the child revealed that while visiting a relative over the weekend, the ammunition was found in a dish or basket at the residence. The bus driver was given the bullets by the child so he could go hunting. The child denied wanting to hurt anyone.

 

Interviews were also completed with a parent who indicated there were no weapons at home. In addition, the relative where the child had visited reported that there are firearms at that residence but are locked and secure.

 

Due to the child’s age, no criminal charges could be placed. School officials advised that the child would be suspended.
