KINDERGARTEN STUDENT TAKES PISTOL TO SCHOOL IN BOOK BAG
Ohio County law enforcement officials are deciding what possible charge will be
filed against an 18-year-old whose handgun turned up at a Wheeling elementary
school.
A teacher at Madison Elementary School on Wheeling Island discovered a
25-caliber semi-automatic handgun in a kindergarten student's book bag last
week.
Police say the student's 18-year-old sibling had reportedly used the bag the
previous day and inadvertently left the gun, which had a loaded magazine but
wasn't in a ready mode to be fired.
Ohio County Sheriff's Department Chief Deputy Pat Butler says Friday the suspect
admitted to placing the handgun in the book bag, but that he didn't think his
brother would take it to school.
