KAPAA, Hawaii (AP) — Kaua’i police are considering criminal charges against a
Kapa’a Middle School student found with a gun on campus.
School officials
say a security officer found the .22-caliber handgun in the backpack of the
female student last week, but that no students ever were in
danger.
Principal Mary Ann Bode told the girl’s parents other students
tipped authorities that she was holding a gun.
Police charged the girl with
firearms possession.
Department of Education officials on Kaua’i say the
student was disciplined, but declined to name the girl or specify what actions
were taken against her.
The middle school is for students in grades six
through eight.
