I just learned about this on the news: there was gunfire at a Linden, NJ elementary school. According to the report, the child with the gun displayed it in the coat room, then dropped it causing the gun to fire. Thankfully, no one was hurt. This is the report from aol.com:

That is absolutely ridiculous that a fourth grader had a gun in school! Parents need to be more responsible about these kinds of things!
