Police on Long Island are investigating after an 11-year-old boy allegedly brought a handgun to his elementary school Wednesday.
A fellow student at Tangier Elementary School in Mastic Beach told a teacher about the gun and police were called.
No students were threatened with the firearm.
The boy was charged with juvenile delinquency for bringing a weapon onto school grounds and was released into the custody of his parents.
The boy's father was charged with criminal possession of a weapon and endangering the welfare of a child.
The father and son will appear in court at a later date.
