GASTON COUNTY, N.C. — A Gaston County middle school principal is asking parents to talk to their children after a student brought a gun to school on Tuesday.
Principal Craig Short reached out to parents Tuesday saying that school officials were told that a student had a weapon in the building. Craig said the school immediately involved the school resource officer who investigated and found a gun.
The student’s parents were contacted, but it’s unclear what disciplinary actions will be taken against the student at this time.
“We would like for parents to take time to discuss with their child the seriousness of bringing a weapon to school and the consequences associated with it. Weapons of any kind, regardless of the circumstances, cannot be tolerated on school grounds,” Short said.
Short said there were no disruption and the school day continued as normal.
