• School system Superintendent George Parker told parents during an online town hall Thursday night an unnamed administrator at Richneck Elementary School was notified about the gun in the first-grader’s possession ahead of time.
• “At least one administrator was notified of a possible weapon in the timeline that we’re reviewing and was aware that that student had … a weapon on campus,” the superintendent told parents.
