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.

I probably would have bought Bionicles, still sad they got discontinued

That was after my time, but I'm reading about it now. It sounds cool. I probably would have been into it.

Oh yeah, and the lore rabbit hole gets deep, read most of the comics and books, it was really cool as a whole universe with supporting toys.

Fuck yeah it was.

I went back a little while ago and reread through some of the lore on the wiki and all these memories came rushing back.

They discontinued them? Those ********ing ****** ***** *****s.
