For second time in two months, student brings loaded gun to St. Paul elementary school

For a second time in two months, a St. Paul elementary student brought a handgun to school — this time on the city's East Side, officials said Tuesday.

An 8-year-old girl at John A. Johnson Achievement Plus Elementary found the gun when she looked into her backpack after placing it on the ground and hearing a thud, said police spokesman Sgt. Mike Ernster.
