A 10-year-old student accused of bringing a gun to Monroe Elementary School has been charged.

The Waldo County Sheriff’s Office says the student brought a .22 caliber handgun on the bus on Friday morning. The student was detained and the ATF and sheriff’s office launched an investigation.

Police said the gun was found unloaded with bullets in a bag.

On Tuesday, police said the child was charged with aggravated reckless conduct, criminal terrorizing, criminal threatening, and threatening display of or carrying a concealed weapon.

The student was released into the custody of a parent. They’re expected to be arraigned in May.

The incident is still under investigation.
