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.
HISD police and several ambulances responded to the scene in the 2800 block of Bay around 11:20 a.m.
Several parents also rushed to the school after learning of the shooting.
Police are now investigating how the boy got the gun.
The school is on lockdown as a precaution.
We'll have more on this developing story as details become available.
