BOWIE β A second-grade student at a southeastern Arizona elementary school is facing charges for allegedly bringing two guns and ammunition to school, authorities said Wednesday.
Cochise County Sheriffβs officials said they were called Monday to Cochise Elementary School in Bowie on reports that a 7-year-old student had a weapon.
Deputies met with school officials and the student and said a handgun and ammunition was found in his backpack and a second gun also was discovered.
Authorities contacted the studentβs parents and gave the boy a juvenile referral for charges of misconduct with a weapon and a minor in possession of a firearm.
A sheriffβs spokeswoman said it was unlikely that the boyβs parents will face charges in the incident, which remains under investigation.
