An 11-year-old boy in Washington state was arrested on Wednesday and charged with one count of attempted murder after he allegedly brought an arsenal of weapons to school, The Columbian reported.
According to Evergreen School District spokeswoman Kris Fay, Frontier Middle School in Vancouver, Wash., and adjacent Pioneer Elementary School were placed into lockdown for two hours on Wednesday after the gun was discovered and police received a tip that a student had taken ammunition to school.
The boy, whose identity has not been released, is accused of bringing a handgun, more than 400 rounds of ammunition and multiple knives to school.
Detectives interviewed the boy, then placed him under arrest and booked him into the Clark County Juvenile Detention Center, police spokeswoman Kim Kapp said.
No one was injured in the incident and police have not said who was allegedly being targeted, CNN reported.
The kid should be home with his mom and the dad should be in the hoosegow. But in the gun-lovin' state of Washington, that's just not the way it shakes out, is it?
"The kid should be home with his mom and the dad should be in the hoosegow."
ReplyDeleteWhy not the other way around Mike? We don't seem to really know anything about this case at all yet. Lets allow the judicial system to do its work.
Exactly. Mike always wants an immediate arrest, but how do you determine which parent is to blame immediately, Mike? Or throw them both in Jail, and send the kid to his nice new foster home. What better way to handle troubled youth than foster homes?
DeleteThen there is that gun-lovin’ blue state of Washington which hasn’t voted for a Republican president since Reagan.
Yeah, let's wait. Then we'll see it was daddy's gun.
DeleteI don't know how they vote for president in Washington, but I do know they love their guns and they love to protect their irresponsible gun owners like this kid's dad.

ReplyDeleteMikeb, your sexism is showing. If women are equal to men, they must face the same legal consequences as men. Of course, I favor letting the investigation play out before assigning blame, but that's me being reasonable.
