Student Carries Gun Onto Local School Bus

An investigation continues after a Waltham Elementary student brought a pellet gun onto a school bus and it went off.

A boy is suspended after the gun went off last week and hit a girl in her leg.  Her injury is considered minor.

Superintendent Robert Abney says it was an isolated incident and the school board will discuss the boy’s future at their meeting Wednesday night.

The La Salle County Sheriff’s Office is investigating.
