Third-grader shows up to school with gun

By Staff | Nov 15, 2008

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) _ A Fort Lauderdale third-grader has been charged with bringing a gun to school.

Police say the eight-year-old brought the gun to school and showed it off to a classmate at Walker Elementary about 10:45 a.m. Friday. The incident came just two days after a student across town at Dillard High School was killed in a school hallway.

The child allegedly showed a 9mm handgun to a classmate, who then reported it to a teacher. The gun wasn’t fired and it’s not known if it was loaded.

Police haven’t identified the child.
