A pair of Virginia parents were arrested after their third-grade son grabbed an unsecured handgun inside the home, put it in his backpack and went to school, where it inadvertently went off during class, according to officials.

Ciara Armstead, 36, and Terrence Carroll Jr., 34, were charged with recklessly leaving a loaded, unsecured firearm so as to endanger the life or limb of a child under the age of 14, a misdemeanor, and willfully or negligently causing or permitting the life of a child to be endangered, a felony.

The child had found an unsecured handgun in his home and put the gun into his backpack before going to school at Lee Hill Elementary School in Spotsylvania County on Monday, the Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office said in a press release.
