AUGUSTA, Ga. — Officials in Georgia say an elementary school student suffered minor injuries after being accidentally shot by a classmate playing with a gun.
The shooting happened Tuesday morning at Hornsby Elementary School in Augusta.
Richmond County School Board spokesman Kaden Jacobs says a student brought the weapon to school and was “playing with the gun inside a desk. It was an accidental discharge.”
Jacobs says the gunshot grazed another student, who was treated at a hospital and released.
