Student Brings Loaded Gun To Middle School
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A Cobb County seventh-grader was caught with a loaded handgun on campus yesterday.
The boy, who has not been named, attended Garrett Middle School in Austell. According to Diane Stepp’s story today, he will be expelled for violating the school system’s zero-tolerance weapons policy.
Every school year we have incidents of students bringing guns to campus. Although we don’t hear about it every day, in recent years there’s been almost as many handguns and rifles confiscated at public schools in Georgia (150 or more) as there are school days (180).
The question: Is anyone doing anything to stop it?
