Police: Boy, 11, Brought Gun To Queens School
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) -- An 11-year-old boy was arrested on charges of bringing a loaded gun to school on Friday.
Police told the New York Post that the boy arrived at Public School 140 in the Jamaica, Queens and bragged to a friend that he had a pistol in his book bag.
The police said the friend told a school safety officer, and the officer checked the boy's bag and found a loaded Glock 9mm semiautomatic gun.
The boy was arrested on charges of criminal possession of a weapon. His name was not released because of his age.
