According to a letter sent home from the Dawson Springs district, a student reported seeing a gun in another student’s locker on Friday morning. School administrators checked the student’s locker and located the toy gun, described as green with an orange tip on the barrel.
The student was questioned by the principal and initial indications suggest that the gun may have been placed in a backpack by a younger sibling. The release indicated that the student did not know it was there until they got to school.
Officials do not believe there was any intention to harm anyone. They also commended the student who reported the presence of the toy gun.
