How is it that guns still find their way in children’s hands??
This is just so sad.
An eighth-grader at Cummings Middle School in Brownsville, Texas was shot three times by police after it was discovered he took a pellet gun to school.
The school was put on lockdown after the student allegedly refused to put the weapon down sometime around 8 AM. Officers shot the student after he “engaged” them in a hallway next to the principal’s office. Paramedics took the teen to the Valley Baptist Medical Center where he later died.
Students were later transferred to the Porter High School gym while officers searched for any other weapons on campus.
Such a tragic, young life was lost and all because of the stupidity of bringing a weapon to school.
His family is in our thoughts.
