BALTIMORE, MD (WEAA) — Idaho officials say a sixth grade girl brought a gun to her middle school on Thursday and injured 3 people before being disarmed by a teacher. 

According to Jefferson County Sheriff Steve Anderson, the student pulled a handgun from her backpack and fired multiple rounds inside and outside Rigby Middle School. 

“Our children are being exposed right now to another type of world”, says Dr. Kaye. “Who should be held responsible?”
