Sad and scarey.

Trust me WildBill. The school nurse and/or admin would call ambulances for something like this without blinking an eye. While the district may be "immune to lawsuit", the individuals involved are not. Scarey world.!

It would be interesting and I hope that LEOs know the answer to a couple of key questions.

1. The kid did or did not know that the gun was in the backpack. Like another speculator, I suspect that someone else put it there to put it out of range of a search. Even if the kid did know it was there, it could still have been put there by an older friend or relative.
2. Are there any suspected gang members living in the same residence as the kid with the backpack? That could very well answer the source of the gun and how the kid got it.

Doesn't Houstin ISD pay for school nurses anymore? Can't an EMT put a band-aid on a scratch without transporting anymore? Something in this story is not adding up, besides the gun firing when it was dropped from half the normal height (a six year old can't be much taller than half an adult's height, can he?).

Marquis Sanders, Marquell’s father, said his son lives with his mother and he's not sure how the kindergartner got the gun. "I never thought me or my son would be involved in something like this," he said.

is there a gun law that would have prevented this? (other than the 100% removal of ALL guns?)

Which was my point, so no idea what Woods is trying to do with any tweeting

Because they're shameless vultures who celebrate any injury or deaths in order to further their gun banning agenda?
