SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- A gun and a loaded magazine were found in a second-grade student's desk at a California school after other students alerted the staff that a classmate had brought the weapon, officials said.

The incident happened Tuesday at Edward Kemble Elementary in Sacramento, the Sacramento City Unified School District said in a statement to families.

School staff called police "who secured the weapon and opened an investigation," the statement said.

"We are grateful that this incident did not result in a tragedy such as those that districts have experienced, including today's tragic and senseless mass shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas," the school district said. "This is due in large part to the bravery and awareness of the students who came forward and alerted staff at Kemble today."

2. Do you think the parents were behind it so the kid could defend himself?

[TeamProg]

6. That would be even more dumb than the mistake of not locking

up their own gun and ammo safely.

9. I think either way we can count on the parents being dumb.

13. My folks never hid the car keys when they left town.

I used to drive myself to Drivers Ed before I had a drivers license.

I drove to school so often when my folks were off traveling that other students thought I was a year older.

My folks trusted that I had better judgement. They weren’t dumb. I was not trustworthy at 14 and 15 yrs old!

Eventually I got caught and then had to have an older guest stay at the house when they left for more than a couple of nights.

When I went for my Calif DMV driving test finally at 17, the tester didn’t want to pass me because I drove too well. He said “you’ve been driving illegally, if it we’re up to me I wouldn’t pass you.”

Kids!

But thankfully my folks didn’t own any guns.

4. When were were kids, we brought toy guns to school many times. (1950's)

I can't fathom that now.

8. You might get shot by those being paid to protect

you!!

[rickford66]

11. That's obvious.

Back in the 50's people weren't being shot all the time. The schools didn't allow water guns or pea shooters, but we played with toy guns at recess. We didn't have or need armed security back then.

12. Who was the asshole who said recently

“No kid wants to be the classroom snitch”?

WRONG!

No kid wants to end up dead!
