A student at Golden Meadow elementary is being questioned after a handgun was discovered in his backpack this morning.
According to Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre, authorities were informed about the handgun after the Golden Meadow Upper Elementary School student found it in his book bag. Upon discovering the gun in his bag, the student reportedly notified a teacher immediately and a school resource officer secured the weapon.
“The teacher and administration at Golden Meadow Upper Elementary School followed all of our protocol for dealing with these types of instances,” Lafourche Parish Schools Superintendent Dr. Jo Ann Mattews said.
Currently, deputies and school administrators do not think that the student had any idea of the firearm in his bag. An investigation is underway into how the weapon ended up there.
Lafourche Parish investigators say that there is no threat to students at the school and will release more information as it becomes available.
