It's been nearly a week, and police still don't know why about 3 dozen bullets were discovered in an elementary school classroom.
It’s been nearly a week, and police still don’t know why about 3 dozen bullets were discovered in an elementary school classroom.
A fifth grader spotted the bag of bullets on the floor of her James Rhoads Elementary School classroom and told her teacher, who then notified police.
“It’s scary. It’s scary,” said Crysta Reese, whose 5th grade daughter attends the school. “Wherever those bullets are coming from, it makes you wonder if there’s a gun. You just don’t know.”
“Where there is a bullet there’s a gun,” said Philadelphia School District spokesman Fernando Gallard. “So when bullets are easy to access, there might be a gun that is easy to access.”
Police are still investigating, and in the meantime, school administrators are taking the opportunity to ask parents to talk about gun safety with their kids.
