BOWIE — A second-grade student at a southeastern ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ elementary school is facing charges for allegedly bringing two guns and ammunition to school, authorities said Wednesday.
ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ County Sheriff’s officials said they were called Monday to ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Elementary School in Bowie on reports that a 7-year-old student had a weapon.
Deputies met with school officials and the student and said a handgun and ammunition was found in his backpack and a second gun also was discovered.
Authorities contacted the student’s parents and gave the boy a juvenile referral for charges of misconduct with a weapon and a minor in possession of a firearm.
A sheriff’s spokeswoman said it was unlikely that the boy’s parents will face charges in the incident, which remains under investigation.
