They apparently tried to take the gun to a security guard working on the school premises, to whom it belonged, when a shot went off.No charges have been laid yet, but Police say they are looking into charges of attempted murder and negligent handling of a firearm because the guard failed to keep the pistol in a safe place.They apparently tried to take the gun to a security guard working on the school premises, to whom it belonged, when a shot went off.No charges have been laid yet, but Police say they are looking into charges of attempted murder and negligent handling of a firearm because the guard failed to keep the pistol in a safe place.
