The School City of Hammond says the gun was left on the previous route by a high school student.
The elementary students gave the weapon to the bus driver as soon as it was found. The driver contacted dispatch and immediately returned to the school. No students were harmed or injured during the incident and the weapon was not discharged at any time. The weapon was turned over to Hammond police and the suspect has been identified based on the video footage from the bus. "Our deepest appreciation goes out to the students involved who ensured that their fellow bus-riders and staff remained safe," School City of Hammond administration said in an email to parents.
