MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - A 5-year-old boy is suspended from
kindergarten after bringing an unloaded gun to school in
Montgomery.
Police said Wednesday the child wasn't being charged with a
crime. But school officials have proposed expelling him, and it
could be a year before he's allowed back in a regular public school
in Alabama.
Police Maj. Huey Thornton said the child found a .38-caliber
handgun in a relative's car and took it into school on Monday. The
child showed the weapon to a friend, who notified administrators.
Thornton said welfare officials were notified and the boy was
kicked out of school. School system spokeswoman Mona Davis said the
Montgomery school board will decide whether to expel him.
