Indianola, OK (AP) - Some parents in the Indianola School District in Pittsburg County are upset because the sheriff's office wasn't called after a middle school student was caught with a B-B gun on campus.
Indianola Superintendent Jeff Maddox says the gun was found Monday and the student is suspended for the rest of the school year.
But Maddox says no call was made because he doesn't consider a B-B gun to be a real firearm.
The state Department of Education requires schools to report incidents within 14 days and a B-B gun is considered a firearm like a pistol or shotgun according to guidelines on the department's Web site.
