Little Girl With Loaded Gun Says She’s Tired Of Being Bullied

An 11-year-old girl from Illinois was discovered to be carrying a loaded gun on a school bus, Ohio police said.

A Youngstown bus driver was transporting students home from St. Joseph the Provider School on Monday afternoon when the alarming discovery was made, according to the Youngstown Police Department.

A student told the driver that the girl had a gun in her bag.

The bus driver confronted the 11-year-old girl – who admitted to having the gun – then took the weapon, and called the police.

The girl told police she had the gun because she was tired of “being picked on all the time.”

The 9mm semiautomatic handgun was loaded with four bullets, none in the chamber.

Police suspect the gun belonged to the girl’s mother.

The girl was arrested on charges of carrying a concealed weapon and illegally carrying a deadly weapon in a school safety zone. She was arraigned Tuesday, Sept. 27. She denied the charges.

The child will remain in custody until her next hearing and will undergo a mental health examination.
