Ohio teacher catches kindergarteners playing with loaded gun
NORTH COLLEGE HILL (AP) — Police in suburban Cincinnati are trying to figure out how a loaded gun got into the hands of four or five kindergarten students who were caught playing with the weapon.
A student at North College Hill Elementary School in Hamilton County alerted a teacher that several children were playing with a gun during dismissal on Wednesday afternoon.
The teacher confiscated the firearm, which is now in the possession of local police. Superintendent Eugene Blalock says the weapon was a small, semi-automatic handgun.
Blalock says the gun might have looked like a toy to some kids, but it definitely was a real weapon. Two bullets were found in the gun’s clip, but none were in the chamber.
