Sixth-grade Virginia boy brings gun and ammo to school

A 6th-grade boy in Abington, Virginia, was caught with an unloaded gun, ammunition, and knife at school.

From an article:

Media outlets report that the boy has been suspended from Damascus Middle School. He was assigned to a home electronic monitoring system during a hearing Tuesday in Washington County Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court. 

School and court authorities say the boy is accused of bringing an unloaded .22-caliber pistol, a knife and several rounds of ammunition to the school Monday morning. He didn't make any threats to anyone at the school. 

Another student saw the ammunition and told a teacher.

The article didn't say if the parents would be held accountable.

Every gun in the hands of a child must first pass through the hands of an adult.
