Police: Ohio boy brings BB gun to fend off bullies

ELMWOOD PLACE, Ohio (AP) — Police say a 10-year-old Ohio boy who wears ankle braces told them he brought a BB gun to his elementary school to intimidate students who bullied him about his physical limitations and being small for his age.

The Cincinnati Enquirer reports he'll be charged in juvenile court with inducing panic for taking the BB gun to his school Monday in suburban Elmwood Place.

Officer Leah Schindler says a principal reported Monday that a handful of students saw the weapon. Schindler says the children believed the gun was real and one said the boy threatened to fire it.

Schindler says the boy reported getting the BB gun from his mother.

The newspaper says the boy's mother didn't respond to an interview request, and school officials couldn't be reached for comment.
