HOUSTON — Three children were grazed by a bullet at Betsy Ross Elementary School in northeast Houston Tuesday.

HISD police confirm a kindergarten student brought a loaded gun to school and it accidentally went off when it fell from his pocket in the cafeteria.

A single bullet grazed all three victims, including the 6-year-old who brought the gun.

None of the children, two boys and a girl, appeared to be seriously hurt. They were all conscious and sitting up on the stretchers as they were loaded into ambulances.

I will bet money:

1. Said 'gun' was a piece of crap that
2. Was not bought at a gun store, and
3. Purchaser couldn't have passed a background check if he did, and
4. Kid was not taught how to properly handle a gun, and
5. Kid comes from a home where parents are absent.

Those are sure bets.

Must have lively “show-and-tell” sessions at that school.
