There was a situation at Lincoln Elementary yesterday morning involving an empty ammo magazine, thankfully it was resolved quickly. Just after 8:00am on Thursday morning, an unloaded ammunition magazine was found in the backpack of a student at Lincoln Elementary.
That student was brought to the office and the school resource officer, Brad Gillis, was promptly notified. Thankfully, through investigation it was determined that the student had no ill intentions, but rather thought it might make for a nice show and tell item to their friends.
The Mt. Pleasant Chief of Police, Lyle Murray, believes it was handled appropriately by the school and the officer involved. There will be no charges placed on anyone. The school district would like to thank the para-educators and the school resource officer for their quick attention into this matter.
