<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nHondo sends us a link to Fox News<\/a> which reports that Jason Adams, a 46-year-old science teacher at Newtown, Connecticut middle school was arrested for bringing a gun to school.<\/p>\n Adams was detained by school security after he was seen with the gun and then arrested by Newtown police who were called to Newtown Middle School, according to Police Chief James Viadero. Adams was charged with possession of a weapon on school grounds and released.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n From, the Hartford Currant<\/a>;<\/p>\n After an initial investigation by police and school district administration, Adams, who has a valid pistol permit, was charged with possession of a weapon on school grounds, a class D felony.<\/p>\n School officials said that Adams, a science teacher at the school, was placed on leave pending the results of their investigation. Police said that Adams had also violated a school policy.<\/p>\n “This matter is very serious and troubling, both the Newtown Public School system and the Newtown Police Department took immediate steps to address the matter. The teacher was immediately detained by security personnel,” the school system said in a statement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n While I think that school administration is over-reacting to the situation, Adams, who taught at the school since 2006, should have been aware how controversial it would have been for him to bring a gun to that particular school. It is illegal, after all. If his intent was to carry the weapon concealed, apparently he wasn’t doing a very good job of it. According to Heavy<\/a>, another teacher saw him with a gun and told the security personnel at the school<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
