PHOENIX — An 8-year-old Mohave County boy allegedly brought a loaded gun to school and threatened a teacher on Monday.

The boy reportedly showed the gun off to other students, threatened one of the teachers and handed it off to another boy, according to ABC15.

Another student noticed the gun and immediately reported it to the school’s principal.

The gun was secured by school authorities, who also removed the boy from the classroom, before the Mohave County Sheriff’s Office responded and arrived just before noon.
