Parkland teacher arrested for leaving loaded gun in a public bathroom: reportBY MORGAN GSTALTER - 04/12/18 09:42 AM EDT
The Parkland, Fla., teacher who volunteered to carry a gun in school after the deadly Feb. 14 massacre was arrested Sunday for leaving his loaded gun in a public bathroom, the Miami Herald reported Wednesday.
Sean Simpson, a chemistry teacher at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, left his loaded Glock 9 mm in the bathroom of a Deerfield Beach Pier on Sunday, the the Herald stated stated, citing a Broward County Sheriffs Office report.
Simpson said he left the gun by mistake and that when he went back for it, Joseph Spataro, described as a vagrant according to the sheriff's report cited by the Herald, had already found it and fired it.
Spataro was charged with firing a weapon while intoxicated and trespassing.
Simpson was arrested and charged with failing to safely store a firearm. He posted a $250 cash bond and was released, the Herald reported.

(3,194 posts)These FUCKING GUN OWNERS and their "I LEFT THE GUN BY MISTAKE" BULLSHIT!
Maybe it will be a mistake when someone puts a bullet through someone due to your tiny MISTAKE.
Too bad we live in Amerika, otherwise he might lose his gun and license. But I'm sure he'll just get a stern warning, not to do it again.
Maybe let him keep his precious, and Fire him as a teacher for being a negligent Twit.
