3rd-grader takes loaded gun to Detroit-area school
INKSTER, Mich. (AP) — Authorities say a third-grade student brought a loaded handgun to his Detroit-area school but was stopped before he walked through the doors.
School district spokeswoman Val Hughes says the principal at Daly Elementary School in Inkster was tipped by a phone call before school started on Friday morning.
She says the principal met the boy at the school's entrance. The boy and weapon were removed from school grounds around 9 a.m.
Hughes says no one was harmed and that other students weren't aware of what happened.
No details were released about how the boy got the gun or why he took it to school.
Inkster police told The Associated Press that they couldn't release any information about the incident.
Inkster is about 15 miles west of Detroit.

In Detroit taking a gun to school puts you on the Best Dressed list. Â Dress for success and survive n Detroit.
Detroit is the murder capital of the US, I am sure most kids start packing heat there earlier than the 3rd grade.
He either got it at a gun show, or borrowed it from his parents. Â I wonder which?
 @RandyH Right, a 9 year old bought a pistol at a gun show. Please.
How DARE they infringe on this young American's 2nd Amendment rights?!?!!! No more "gun-free" zones, no more government interference!! This proud young citizen was just trying to protect him or herself from classmates that would try to shoot them first. I say we mandate that every student carry a firearm at all times. It's the only way to ensure that they're all safe and able to protect themselves. Kindergarteners on the firing range, without exception, learning the all-American skill of shoot first ask questions later. Anything else is unConstitutional.
@badcat the national dialogue is about keeping guns out of the hands of children and preventing them from being stolen. We all seem to agree on that, at least. I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish here.
 @badcat Go back under the Brooklyn Bridge you Troll.
 @TreeWizard Have another beer and then punch your momma. Stay classy!!
 @badcat Tushay.
