"A spokesman for the school district said a teacher saw the student showing the gun off during recess and took action. Officers with the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department and school district security officers were called to the school on Enright Avenue and confiscated the weapon without incident," reported Sam Clancy. "A police spokesperson said the student found the gun in a lockbox under his parent's bed and wanted to show it off."

"Police said they do not intend to seek charges due to the nature of the incident," continued the report. "A statement from the school district reminded parents to check on any weapons in the home and secure them out of the reach of children."

Not charging the parents is a mistake.

The 14-year-old’s day ended not with praise, but punishment, after the school called police and he was arrested.

“I built a clock to impress my teacher but when I showed it to her, she thought it was a threat to her,” Ahmed told reporters Wednesday. “It was really sad that she took the wrong impression of it.”
