RANDALLSTOWN, Md. (CBS) ? Baltimore County police say a 7-year-old boy has been turned over to his parents after he was caught with two loaded handguns at Randallstown Elementary School.

According to police, the boy was detained after a 9 millimeter Kahr handgun fell out of his pocket in a classroom. A search of his backpack turned up a .40 caliber Glock handgun.

CBS station WJZ-TV in Baltimore reported that police say they found both weapons fully loaded, with a round in each chamber.

It's not known if juvenile charges have been filed.

I almost posted this story a few minutes ago.

Nine Ware County third-grade students have been suspended from their Waycross elementary school after being accused of bringing several items to school in order to hurt their teacher.

Waycross Police Chief Tony Tanner on Tuesday released pictures of the evidence, which includes, a steak knife, a paperweight, handcuffs, gloves and several rolls of tape.

According to Tanner, the motive for the plot might have been to get revenge on a teacher after she disciplined a girl in her classroom for standing on a chair.

Authorities got word of the alleged plot at Center Elementary School on Friday when another student reported seeing the knife in the possession of another child.

The 8- and 9-year-olds have been accused of being involved in a plan to harm a teacher, but some parents said the plot was much worse. Channel 4 received several e-mails from parents who claimed the students wanted to kill their teacher.

The headline in Monday's Waycross Journal-Herald read murder.

"I have not heard that word used. The principal says they were planning to harm their teacher," said Theresa Martin, of Ware County Schools.

Investigators confirmed the students brought a steak knife, a roll of duct tape, handcuffs, ribbon and a heavy crystal paperweight to school.

I agree. It just caught my attention because this kind of thing seems to be happening way too often and that the kids are getting younger and younger.

Maybe he mistook them for squirt guns when he found them in daddy's night stand.

Just goes to show how much stupider kids are getting.

More like it goes to show you how little gun safety is being taught by parents.

DoubleQFT. Parents should be the ones to get charged, not the 7 yo.

Don't 7 year olds have a right to defend themselves? Go 2nd Amendment! :)

Wow, one in the chamber as well on both. That could have turned out a whole lot worse.

Like when it fell out of his pocket? :p

Maybe he saw Devil May Cry too many times and wanted to be like Dante. Missa Thompson, you are needed once more to slay the evil Capcom overlords!

Parents and child should both be in trouble, I'm pretty sure a 7 year old is supposed to know not to bring a gun to school (or anywhere else).
