Just two days after a school closed its campus due to a safety threat, a student brought a gun to an elementary school. Both incidents happened on Tucson’s south side within the first month back to school.
Southgate Academy closed their campus earlier this week after a threat was made. The superintendent explained, “Southgate Academy immediately reported the threat to the Tucson Police Department and is fully cooperating with its investigation. It is our understanding that the Tucson Police Department is working to identify the individual responsible for the threat.”
That threat happened just one day before four people were killed in a school shooting in Georgia.
The day after that, one student at Los Niños Elementary, also on Tucson’s Southside, brought a handgun with no ammunition.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department stated that the student was cited for illegally possessing a deadly weapon.
