Child, 6, brings gun to school

HOUSTON, USA – A pistol brought to Ross Elementary School by a 6-year-old kindergarten student fell to the cafeteria floor and discharged today, slightly injuring three children, a Houston school district spokesman said.

The injuries were not considered life-threatening,  spokesman Jason Spencer said. The incident occurred about 10:22 a.m in the school at 2819 Bay, he said.

The boy who brought the gun was wounded in the foot, another 6-year-old boy was wounded in the leg and a 5-year-old girl was wounded in the foot, Spencer said.

The children were taken to a hospital and their parents notified, Spencer said. Police were investigating how the child obtained the gun.

Television footage showed at least three students being removed on stretchers.

    When u remove the bible in the schools, thats wat happens. U dont just remove something and its replaced with nothing, something always occupies mt spaces. When u clear out a piece of land and u dont plant anything, here comes the weed(grass). But plant flowers,yes there will be grass amongst it but u can pull out these weeds. Lord have mercy.

      You have made an excellent point. Also keep in mind, idleness is the devil’s playground.

    You note what some youth of today are like? Godless people I would say.
    One would think after all what has happened and continue to happen in the U.S. that this should never occur.
    It does appear that school security continues to be lax in the U.S.
    I have always thought, no exception in Canada, that rather than bring books to school they are bringing guns and other weapons.
    How was this 6 year-old child able to get a gun and bring it to school?
    Parents who possess guns must keep them in a safe and locked area.
    If I were the parents of the injured innocent children I would sue the school authorities and the government.

    Too much freedom of expression that’s up here in the United States.
    They don’t want to tighten the nuts on gun control.
