A Parkland teacher was arrested after leaving a loaded gun in a public bathroom

A Parkland teacher was arrested after leaving a loaded gun in a public bathroom


A homeless man found the gun and fired it.

A chemistry teacher at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the site of a shooting in February that left 17 dead, was arrested this week after he accidentally left a loaded gun in a public bathroom. A drunk, homeless man eventually found the gun and fired it; the bullet hit a wall.

Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to the bizarre shooting scene Sunday at the Deerfield Beach Pier near Fort Lauderdale, Florida, according to the Miami Herald .

Sean Simpson, a high school chemistry teacher in Parkland, told deputies he mistakenly left the Glock 9mm in a bathroom stall. By the time he realized what he had done, a homeless man had taken the gun and fired it, the Herald said. Simpson wrestled the gun away from him and no one was hurt.

Simpson was arrested on a misdemeanor charge for failing to safely store a firearm, and was released on bail. The school district does not plan to discipline him for the offense, according to Local 10 News.

Even though the incident did not occur on school property, the shooting confirms some of the fears about what could go wrong if teachers were to carry guns in school — that the mere presence of more firearms would increase the risk of gun violence.

The idea of arming teachers gained momentum after the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas in February. President Trump and the National Rifle Association pushed the idea as a way to prevent mass shootings, instead of restricting the sale of firearms.

The teacher messed up, probably broke more than one law already on the books and got arrested for it.   Happens thousands of times every day in this country.  

I don't see what the news is ....... oh wait ......  a gun was involved so it stands to reason some left wing anti gunner is going to grab both their ass cheeks firmly while jumping on it with both feet.   Stomping up and down, screaming ad nauseum like a child who was just refused a second cookie.

On the humanity!
