Authorities said school staff found two handguns in the student’s belongings. Nobody was hurt, and state police said there was no threat to the public. According to police, 32-year-old Kenneth Pariaug was found to be the owner of the handguns. He was arrested and charged with reckless endangerment and risk of injury to a minor.Parents said they were thankful that everybody was OK but weren’t notified about the situation until hours later and still don’t have many details.
“We weren’t notified right away. They [the school] never went into a lockdown, and we have procedures for this,” said parent Danielle Lawrence.“I was told the child never talked about the guns, never showed them to anyone, but how would the school have known to check the backpack,” Lawrence said. “Why weren’t we notified right away? This is sort of a big deal.”“They’re 6 to 7 years old; they’re not packing their own backpacks in the morning,” she said.
