A mum and dad were arrested after their four-year-old son took a loaded gun to his nursery school. Police were called after the child showed the pistol to a classmate.
It is believed he
picked it up in the car as his mum drove him to Amite Elementary School in
Amite City, Louisiana.
Police Chief Jerry Trabona said: “I’m assuming she had it laying on the seat and he reached down there, got it and put it in his book sack.
“She doesn’t remember where the gun was.” He added: “If the baby would have been
thinking it’s a play gun and shot somebody with it, you don’t know where that
bullet is going.
“It was a
semi-automatic. If he’d have pulled it, he could have pulled it again. There
was another bullet ready to go.”
Parents Kenji Steptow,
36, and Kenisha Steptow, 30, are facing a child desertion rap, the toughest
charge allowed by US law. Their son, who has not been named, is being looked
after by family. Cops said the gun was registered.
