"A Milledgeville, Georgia boy was arrested on Friday when a gun discharged from the boy's backpack inside an elementary school, WMAZ-TV reported.

The boy attends Lakeview Academy, a school for students in grades 3 through 5."

Hmmmmm:

"Baldwin County Sheriff's Maj. Scott Deason told WMAZ that the firearm was a stolen*Smith & Wesson 9-millimeter.

Deason told the Union Reporter that that student could not explain to investigators how he ended up with the gun.

“They questioned the juvenile in the presence of his mother,” Deason toldthe Union Reporter. “The mother also stated she didn’t know how the gun got into her son’s book bag.”"

I thought a child had to be 10 to face charges in Colorado?

"The boy is facing four charges, according to WMAZ: Carrying a weapon in a school zone; reckless conduct; disrupting or interfering with public school; and possession of a pistol by a person under 18."
