Three Kindergarteners Injured in Accidental Shooting at Houston Elementary School

Houston, Texas police are investigating an incident in which a loaded gun accidentally discharged at Ross Elementary School on Tuesday.

The boy and two other kindergartners were wounded. Their parents were notified immediately. School district spokesman Jason Spencer said the children were likely hit by bullet fragments. Their wounds are not life threatening. Spencer said the parents of all other Ross Elementary School students were notified of Tuesday’s incident by a “recorded call.”
