A teacher found a loaded gun inside a kindergartners backpack, sparking an investigation in North Carolina, officials said.
The handgun was discovered Monday morning at Tanglewood Elementary School in Lumberton, roughly 95 miles south of Raleigh, according to Public Schools of Robeson County.
District Administrators are deeply troubled by this incident due to the age of the student and what could have taken place if the teacher did not take proper action once discovering the handgun, district spokesperson Glen Burnette said in an email.

The weapon found in the bookbag was the fourth loaded gun discovered on the Robeson County districts campuses since the start of the school year. Two were at Lumberton Senior High School, and one was in a car outside Purnell Swett High School, officials said.

(82,849 posts)The lesson we strive tirelessly to inculcate into our society is might makes right and that any problem will yield to the liberal application of violence. We spent 20 years in Afghanistan demonstrating our deep commitment to violence, and here's a 5-year-old who has gotten with the program. If we want our children to learn a different lesson, adults should at the very least be modeling the behavior we prefer to see in those children.
