My kids went to this school and got in fights constantly cause of the bullying that takes place there. Administration needs to make so changes cause they might not be so lucky to catch it before the child decides to pull the trigger. We have got to do better in teaching our kids not to pick on other children because they are different or poor, and that violence never solves a problem.

Can’t help but think what if the gun would have went off and possibly killed a teacher or a student. Also I remember ECMS was on its way to turning things around in 2015-2018 under A.Morris and the Central Office staged a coup to remove Principal A. Morris and place D. Bolden in his place, what a huge mistake. Under A.Morris discipline was at the forefront, however when D.Bolden became Principal all discipline infractions were tossed out the window thus leading to the fallout of what we have today at ECMS. Can’t help but wonder how special ECMS would have become under A. Morris’s leadership. This is so sad!!!

I didn’t see where the article said the gun came from the home, it very well could have been stolen during a vehicle or residential burglary. @Sam did I miss it?
