Palm Beach Gardens teacher gets unexpected end-of-year gift: a loaded handgun

[RamboLiberal]

PALM BEACH GARDENS — A teacher at Allamanda Elementary School received an unwelcome end-of-the-year gift from one of her students on Tuesday: a loaded .22-caliber handgun.

According to updated information from the Palm Beach County School District, it appears that the grandmother of an 8-year-old student brought a boxed present of toiletries to a teacher at the Palm Beach Gardens school, handing it to the teacher in the parking lot after school. The grandmother was apparently unaware that the gun was in the box, according to a statement from the district.

When the teacher opened the present at home later that evening, inside, at the bottom of the box, was the gun.
