A 5-year-old Palatka boy brought a loaded semiautomatic handgun to school Tuesday, prompting a police investigation into where it came from.
Assistant Palatka Police Chief James Griffith said officers were called to Moseley Elementary School after a teacher saw the gun fall from the youngster’s pocket during a pre-kindergarten music lesson Tuesday morning. The teacher retrieved the weapon and notified school administrators, who called police.
The .22-caliber Jimenez semiautomatic handgun was loaded with live ammunition in the magazine but no rounds in the chamber, Griffith said.
The child told police he found the weapon in a vehicle belonging to his stepfather, but investigators hadn’t confirmed that Tuesday night. Griffith promised there will be criminal charges if any adult is found negligent in the case.
