SHERWOOD, AR - An elementary school student is facing disciplinary action after bringing a toy gun to school this morning.

That's according to officials with the Pulaski County Special School District (PCSSD).

It happened at Jacksonville Cato Elementary.

The Sherwood Police Department says it got the call shortly after 10 o'clock.

The PCSSD says a first grade boy brought the toy gun to school. After another student saw it, the teacher sent the boy to the office.

Sherwood Police say the school will handle the matter.

It's not yet known what disciplinary action will be taken against the student.

Called the police, you think? Can you just maybe use your head. I think the kid has more going for him then the one that called the cops.

Knee Jerk Politics! The kid should have wore a dress to school like the Liberal lake Hamilton Kid! Do parents not check their kids back backs before going to school? Here is a little hint on parenting.. When your child comes home from school check their back back and before the next school day begins check your childs back pack again.. I do it every morning.

Where has common sense gone with the school personnel? It was a toy and he does not deserve going to prison.These idiots make mountains out of molehills.
