Nursery pupils injured as boy's gun goes off in school cafeteria

A six-year-old nursery school pupil who took a gun to school was among three students injured when it dropped from his pocket during lunchtime and accidentally fired.

One bullet discharged at about 11 am in the school's cafeteria, spraying fragments at the students, said police spokesman Robert Mock.

"Either some type of chips off the floor, or it could be pieces of the round that discharged," Mock said. "They had some cuts and stuff on their legs, they don't appear to be life threatening."

Two six-year-old boys, including the one who had the gun, were wounded in the foot, said district spokesman Jason Spencer. A five-year-old girl also suffered a foot injury.
