Another DeKalb student in trouble over toy gun
For at least the second time this year, a DeKalb County principal is informing parents of a student violation of weapons policy involving a toy gun.
The latest incident occurred at Druid Hills Middle School, where a 6th grade boy was discovered last week with a “BB” pistol, according to the letter by principal Robert B. Thorpe. A teacher discovered the gun in the student’s possession, and after an investigation three students were cited with handling it, the letter said.
No one was threatened or harmed this time, nor the last time, in January, when a girl reportedly brought a “soft pellet gun” to Woodward Elementary School.
