US Nursery Shut After Toddler Reportedly Found Loaded Gun in Staff Member’s Bag
A two-year-old reportedly put a loaded gun in their mouth after finding it inside an unzipped bag at a nursery in Richmond, Virginia. Inspectors said the firearm was left within reach of children while three staff members were in the room. The child reportedly held the gun for about 15 seconds before a staff member took it away. The nursery operator was arrested and charged with firearm-related offences, while the facility later closed during an official investigation. Inspectors also cited the centre for late reporting of the incident, inadequate supervision, incomplete child records and staff documentation failures. Authorities said the case highlighted the need to keep firearms away from children in care settings.
