The incident happened over seven years ago, it looks like -
What happened to the officer? (should be fired)
The teacher? (should be warned, at least, for allowing this)
The kid? (Too traumatized to ever handle a gun?)

I don't blame the teacher one iota if s/he was ignorant of all things gun and trusted the implied safety/skill/judgment of an "official".
It's what we get beat over the head with from our government all the time; "Respeckt mah authoritay!" She obviously thought someone supposedly "trained" would know what they were doing.

I don't BLAME her, but she should at least be warned that NO ONE outside of a SCHEDULED and PLANNED demonstration, should walk into her classroom, pull out a gun, and start passing it around to the kids.
