CHARLES COUNTY, Md. — The Charles County Sheriff's Office confiscated a replica firearm from a 7-year-old at William B. Wade Elementary School Tuesday morning.
On Jan. 10, around 9:30 a.m., a student at the school reported to school administrators that another student was showing off what appeared to be a firearm to a group of students.
School personnel recovered the object and they determined it to be a replica firearm that shoots water pellets.
The 7-year-old student was not charged due to their age; however the school resource officer notified the Charles County Department of Juvenile Services as a matter of recordation and for possible follow-up services if needed.
The student could face disciplinary action through the CCPS.
