Deputies were called last Thursday to the school, located on South Old Belair Road. Principal Stephanie Reese told the officer that the boy was found with the pellet gun the day before. The boy’s mother, Tiffany Shelton, came to the school Wednesday and took possession of the gun, the report says.
The principal said two students approached her Thursday and claimed that the boy had actually threatened them on the day he had the gun.
