School Calls Police on Student Who Had a BB Gun in the Background of An Online Class

Courtney Lancaster, a mother and Navy Veteran, expressed her outrage after police pulled up to her door and asked to search her home for weapons. According to the police, the school safety officer at Lancaster’s 11-year-old son’s school, Seneca Elementary, called law enforcement after spotting a BB gun in the background of a virtual class meeting.

“I had no idea what to think. I’ve never been in any legal trouble whatsoever. I’ve never had any negative encounter with law enforcement,” she told Fox 45 News. “I had no idea. I really didn’t know what to think.”

Although officers searched her 5th grader’s room and found nothing that compromised the son’s safety or that needed to be reported, Lancaster claims that she was shocked. . .

Part of Lancaster’s frustrations with the situation were because of her and her son’s experience with guns. According to Fox 45 News, not only did Lancaster serve in the military and handle weapons, but her son learned how to shoot BB and airsoft on his journey to becoming an Eagle Scout.

“I thought, this is outrageous. This is despicable,” she told Fox. “I had no idea what in the world could this be over? BB guns never even once entered my mind. How many 11-year-old boys have BB guns?” (Read more from “School Calls Police on Student Who Had a BB Gun in the Background of an Online Class” HERE)
