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.

    Hey dude, definitions of rough regional areas are based off of culture, politics, geography,and history only one of which is written in stone. For example I consider Spain to be part of both Southern and Western Europe due to being entangled with both regions. You are basically throwing a hissy fit over the geography equivalent of “water vs wader”.
