The Ogle County State's Attorney says no charges will be filed against an 8 year old boy who brought a gun to his Stillman Valley grade school last week.
The incident happened at Highland Elementary School. The boy apparently found the key to his dad's locked gun case, and took the semi-automatic and airgun weapon to school. The state's attorney says it's investigation shows, the student did not have malicious intent, and the weapons were not obtained in an illegal or reckless manner. They also say charges are not warranted against the parents.

The parents should be arrested for allowing the guns to be available to the child. Would there be no charges if a child was killed or injured?

as a parent of a child at highland in stillman i find it appalling that no charges are being filed . that child stole a weapon and took it to a public school - hello ?? in the least it should land this student in the juvenile detention center for his actions , he knows right from wrong at that age , especially about a gun - much less 2 of them . both real or not - i know of kids in other school districts who were suspended and referred to juvenile justice for bringing a watergun to school and this child brought a real one and a bullet !!! ogle county states attorney needs to do his job and protect innocents like my child from even worrying about a gun in a kindergarten through second grade school . thats right a second grader did this !! unbelievable to think the states attorney will allow this to slide by with no retribution - is he related to the family ??
