A 74-year-old substitute teacher is behind bars after a gun in his pocket discharged inside a first-grade classroom Friday.
The incident happened midday at Blountsville Elementary School, said Blount County Sheriff Mark Moon. Blount County District Attorney Pamela Casey said one student was struck by a fragment and checked out by the school nurse.
Moon said the teacher - Henry Rex Weaver – had the gun in his pocket when it discharged. There were students in the classroom at the time.
