Kids These Days

    Every so often we hear about students bringing guns to school, be it the tragic event of the Columbine Shootings or someone pulling a prank with a toy gun. In any case, these matters are to be treated professionally and in the most serious way. For a a certain student attending Dansville Middle School in Dansville, Michigan, caught with a handgun in his locker that means being admitted to a psychiatric hospital and potentially juvenile court charges.

Article from the Lansing State Journal Below:

DANSVILLE - A Dansville Middle School student who administrators said had a handgun in his locker is being treated at a psychiatric hospital and could face charges in juvenile court when he is released, officials said.
Ingham County sheriff's deputies were called to the school Jan. 11 after two students told administrators that the boy had a gun in his locker. The school went on lockdown for about half an hour.
The boy was taken into custody, and his parents were called, officials said.
Ingham County Prosecutor Stuart Dunnings III confirmed today that his office is waiting for the boy to be released from the hospital. He did not know when that might happen. Dunnings would not say if he has decided to bring charges against the boy.
