Eleven-Year-Old Utah Boy Brings Gun to School Allegedly to Protect Against Newtown-Style Shooting

Fears of another Newtown-style school shooting allegedly prompted one sixth grader in Utah to bring a gun to school. According to a teacher at West Kearns Elementary School, the boy took a 22-caliber weapon out of his backpack and threatened classmates with it. The 11-year-old told police that his parents gave him the weapon for protection after the tragedy at Sandy Hook.

Other parents at the school say they are furious that they weren't notified as soon as the incident took place. John Klaus, a father, said, "There was no lock down. No one was called. Nothing was done. And then we had to hear it from our kids."

Ben Horsley, the spokesman for the Granite School District, countered, "Once the teacher knew there was a weapon in the classroom, the student was apprehended within 30 to 45 seconds, and immediately brought down to the office. And the police were on site within 5 to 10 minutes."

Police are investigating the boy's parents. In the meantime, he is being held at a juvenile facility.
