Two 10-year-old students were arrested in connection with a gun sold at their elementary school in Florida, county officials confirmed.

A deputy's son "agreed to exchange a handgun, (later found to belong to his deceased father), for a sum of $300" back in February, the Hendry County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.

The Country Oaks Elementary School was placed under lockdown Wednesday morning after the sheriff's office received a call about "a suspicious incident" on campus. Authorities discovered ammunition in the backpack of the boy who purchased the gun.

The gun was later found in his backyard under a shed, hidden with a 74-gram bag of marijuana, according to investigators.

"The gun was later found in his backyard under a shed, hidden with a 74-gram bag of marijuana, according to investigators."

This whole story would a great opening to a film about a mob kingpin.

It’s honestly kind of sad. What 10 year old is buying guns and 74 fucking grams of weed?

I doubt he’ll get that far if he’s getting high at 10. Probably got a fucked up life

You don't buy a QP to get high. You buy it to sell.

[-] babypigeon@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

No doubt about the fucked up life. But he could have been selling vs consuming the product.

Quick math 74 grams is 2.61 ounces which is like what I can get for a little over a 100 buck legally for meh shit. Primo it could be ~300-500 bucks worth in a legal market for perspective. Still a 10 year old should not have either in their possession

You think this gun toting 10 year old don't have the primo shit??

[-] Pacmanlives@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

How would he even know? Not like he has years of experience smoking the sticky icky as snoop say. Probably brick grass because the dealer knows he will get away will selling skunk weed to a 10 year old because he is a piece of shit for selling a 10 year old grass

[-] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Probably been slanging since pre k tbh

[-] bitchkat@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

That's probably how he got the $300 for the gun. And why he needs a gun.

[-] sramder@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

I definitely need better friends… I’m paying a little over 900 bucks for that much primo shit here in CA… and that’s with my good customer discount 😂

[-] Pacmanlives@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Bro what??? I took like 3 seconds and found an OZ for 85 bucks in Cali. You go north and south you can find it just as cheap of LA

Did you ask the 10 year olds at the local park

[-] sramder@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

I was thinking about it, but now that I know they’re packing heat I might just stick to the over priced dispensaries.
