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.

What if a 10 year old breaks into my house and tries to steal my "one home protection gun" should i blast him? Let's say he is large for his age and it's a dark and foggy night?
Can you give an example of this ever having happened?
Are you aware of Andrew Zimmerman?
No, but Google tells me he's a chef in Chicago, so I'm not sure how that's relevant.
