2 Mead High School students expelled for possessing and transferring gun and ammo on school grounds

[TFOGGER]

Remember the olden days, when this would be a total non-event in a rural community?

WELD COUNTY, Colo. - Two students at Mead High School have been expelled and are facing charges after they brought a firearm and ammunition on school grounds to give one other, the Weld County Sheriff's Office said Tuesday.
The teens have not been identified because of their age.
Their actions were discovered on Saturday, when one of the teen's parents contacted the Weld County Sheriff's Office when they discovered their child was in possession of a firearm that did not belong to them, the sheriff's office said.
Deputies were able to determine that one teen brought the firearm and ammunition to school and provided it to the other.
"Although both teens were in possession of the firearm for portions of the day, the initial investigation shows no credible coordination or collaboration on the part of either teen to act out any type of violent behavior on school grounds," Weld County Sheriff John Cooke said in a news release.

Well, they may have been worried their kid had a stolen weapon. "I got it from a friend" but where did your friend get it from, that sort of thing.

You'd have to really suspect your kid is a thug to turn em in for felony charges. (it is a felony to violate the gun free school thing right? 5yr max prison) I'm amazed.

Wonder if they'll be charged for not doing a BG check as well

Too bad they decided to do it on school property otherwise it would have been legal. As for the parents, i do not get it either.

Curious if they are of legal age?


The thing that bugs me about the parents turning in their child is I think that is very telling of the relationship between the kid and his parents.
Parents are afraid to be parents and deal with the situation.
Unless my kid REALLY FUBAR'd, I would do everything I could to keep them from a possible felony rap.

They are obviously not 18 as the press is not releasing their names.

But they saw something so they had to say something.
