that she was “shocked” when she saw a second-grade male classmate with the gun Friday afternoon.
“I just wish I had my phone so I could call my mom to tell her,” Kylie told the outlet. “It was like, ‘We don’t want to see that!’ We told somebody to go tell the teacher.”George Sells, a spokesman for St. Louis Public Schools, told The Washington Post that a teacher “picking up on unusual behavior found the weapon and took action” to immediately secure the gun without anyone getting hurt.But when police arrived, authorities concluded that no charges would be brought against the child’s family.
“Due to the circumstances of the child finding the weapon in a presumed secured lock box, and the child’s intent to just show off the weapon, no criminal charges are being sought at this time,” Evita Caldwell, a spokeswoman for the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, told The Post in a statement. Police are investigating how the second-grade student got the gun out of a secured lock box.The school district is also investigating the incident.
Jennifer and James Crumbley were charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter. Prosecutors argue that Crumbley’s parents, who haveon all counts, “could have stopped” the attack and that they gave their son “total access” to the weapon. Parents rarely face charges related to school shootings carried out by children using guns taken from their homes.
