School's armed guard accidentally leaves handgun in the bathroom

1/19/2013

A security guard at a charter school in Lapeer, Mich., caused a "breach in security protocol" when he accidentally left an unloaded weapon in the school's restroom. No children were put in danger and no one was injured according to Chatfield School director Matt Young. The school is not releasing the name of the security officer, who used to work in the Lapeer County Sheriff's Office, and as no one was injured, no charges will be filed as no criminal act was committed. Despite the slip-up, Young called the addition of armed guards at the school "a tremendous asset to the safety of our students." [Source]
