First-grader threatens to get a gun when asked to share swing set
A first-grade student in Sanford, Maine, threatened to bring a gun to school after being asked by a teacher to let another student have a turn on a swing during recess, according to a letter the school sent to parents.
The principal of Margaret Chase Smith School, Chuck Potter, informed families of the situation in a letter dated Friday.
“I am writing to make you aware of an incident that occurred on the playground this week between two 1st grade students at recess,” Potter wrote. “We determined that a student was asked by a teacher to let another student have a turn on the swing, and the student who was on the swing responded by saying they were going to bring in a gun to school.”
The school investigated and determined there was no viable threat.
“Considering the age of the student, appropriate consequences were given,” Potter wrote, without describing the school’s specific response.
