HOUSTON — Houston school district officials say a kindergartner who brought a loaded gun to a school, injuring himself and two others when it fired after falling from his pocket, faces disciplinary action that could include up to 180 days in an alternative school.
District spokesman Norm Uhl says no punishment has been decided.
Houston Independent School District Assistant Police Chief Robert Mock says one bullet was fired about 10:35 a.m. Tuesday in the Ross Elementary School cafeteria, spraying fragments at students.
Houston police spokesman Victor Senties says it's too early in the investigation to tell if charges will be filed.
A school administrator says the boy who brought the gun was injured in his foot, the other boy's leg was grazed and a 5-year-old girl's knee was injured.
