Baltimore, MD - Nov. 28, 2023 - Baltimore City School administrators confirm a gun was discovered inside a student's backpack at the Creative City Charter School in Park Heights.
According to police, a staff member received an anonymous tip and discovered the gun during a search of the student's backpack.
Sources say the student is 7-years old.
Kendra Nelson says her 7-year old saw the weapon in his classroom.
"I'd say the child got it from an adult so where's the conversation with the adult in that child's life?" said Nelson.
Because of the child's age, juvenile reform laws prohibit officer from questioning the child without a parent present or charging the child.
In a letter, school administrators told parents that the student had been detained and will be addressed.
"It's one more thing I have to worry about, 'is the school supposed to be safe'," said Nelson.
