twitterParents rattled after children bring gun to campus
Monday, Feb. 8, 1999 | 9:03 a.m.
More than 50 parents gathered for a meeting last week to discuss the recent incident.
The boys were expelled after bringing a .357-caliber revolver to an after-school party at Meyers Elementary School in a backpack. The gun was stolen from the parents of one of the boys.
"This really scared me as a parent," Marie Krueger said. "Do these parents have any more guns in their home? Could these kids get it and come back here? Those questions build up in my mind and fill me with fear."
El Dorado County sheriff's Lt. Randy Peshon said the parents were not negligent because they had the "reasonable expectation that the gun was inaccessible to the boys."
The boys didn't get the ammunition because it was locked up separately from the weapon, Peshon added.
