1st Grader Accidentally Brings Two Guns to School: Police

Police say a first grader brought two handguns to school in Little Elm on Thursday.[[347250292,C]]

The guns were discovered at about 8:30 a.m. at Brent Elementary School on Witt Road.

After investigating, it was determined that the boy grabbed his father's backpack by mistake. (The two have identical backpacks.)

When the child unzipped his bag at school and saw the guns, he immediately realized he had taken the wrong backpack and gave it to his teacher.

It was also determined that the father was preparing to leave his home for a hunting trip, which is why his backpack contained the firearms.

No one was injured.

The Little Elm Police Department and the Little Elm ISD are investigating.
