Two 10-year-old students were arrested in connection with a gun sold at their elementary school in Florida, county officials confirmed.
A deputy’s son “agreed to exchange a handgun, (later found to belong to his deceased father), for a sum of $300” back in February, the Hendry County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
The Country Oaks Elementary School was placed under lockdown Wednesday morning after the sheriff’s office received a call about “a suspicious incident” on campus. Authorities discovered ammunition in the backpack of the boy who purchased the gun.
The gun was later found in his backyard under a shed, hidden with a 74-gram bag of marijuana, according to investigators.
Lucky you. Kid doesn’t wanna be some washed up 12yo’s lick though, he needs to keep that pole on him so his opps don’t catch him lacking! Understandable really.
When you put it like that, it really does make sense. Small businesses are rough.
