SIOUX FALLS (AP) — A student at a Sioux Falls elementary school has been suspended for bringing a gun into the building.
Administrators at Oscar Howe Elementary say the 8-year-old boy was given a five-day suspension for bringing the weapon — either a BB gun or air pistol — to school.
The student and his mother say it was a mistake. The boy grabbed his father’s backpack instead of his own. The bags are similar.
Sioux Falls police say the boy showed the gun to another student, who told a teacher.
