(CBS/AP) Two 8-year-old boys and an 11-year-old schoolmate were arrested after they buried a loaded handgun in a playground sandbox and plotted to shoot and stab a girl during recess, authorities said Thursday.
Sheriff Tim Fulton said the boys told investigators they intended to harm the young girl because she had teased two of them.
The plot was uncovered late Wednesday morning, about a half-hour before recess, when another student alerted school officials,
"A young man — our hero here — came to the principal, Kelly Anderson, and informed her that he was aware of a gun being on the premises," School Superintendent Dave Shreeve told CBS affiliate KTVQ Billings.
The gun, a .22-caliber revolver, had two bullets in it, Michael Hayworth, the Rosebud County attorney, said. Shreeve said a box of bullets also was found nearby.
