StudentWatch: Spotlight on Student Safety

Violence and bullying in schools knows no age limits. Recently, a 10-year-old boy from Lakewood, CO was arrested after bringing his BB gun to Stein Elementary School and firing at six of his classmates. According to the Huffington Post, the fourth grader snuck his BB gun into the school and brought it out in class when his teacher looked away. He was arrested and booked on municipal assault and dangerous missile charges. The 10-year-old will also face automatic expulsion for bringing the gun to school. This is the second school shooting this year in Jefferson County. In February, a student shot and wounded two eighth-graders at Deer Creek Middle School in Littleton, CO.

Keeping students safe from acts of rage is not always easy, but being prepared for these random incidents is important.
