The boy exchanged the handgun for $300 in February. The incident was discovered after ammunition was found in the backpack of the other student Wednesday.

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

            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

            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

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

            Did you ask the 10 year olds at the local park

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