    At least three weeks after the incident, the Rising Star ISD school board is addressing an incident in which a 3rd-grade student found an unattended firearm in the school bathroom. The gun belongs to Rising Star Superintendent Robby Stuteville.

    Giovanni Mata, father of a Rising Star student, said his son Leighton was one of the students that discovered the firearm.

    “The superintendent had left his gun in the bathroom because he always has it on him on his hip and Leighton and another kid had found it,” Mata explained.

    “So the teacher asked another kid, my son… ‘Can you go see if it’s a real gun?’ Why would you send a kid? Why not send someone else,” Mata expressed.

    The incident took place in January, Rising Star Chief of Police Don Braly said his department was not made aware until recently, but an investigation is underway.

    Yea man, just because you keep guns in your house, doesn't make it ok for them to be in a school.

    “How many of your kids have access to guns in your own home? A bunch of you, including mine. I think it’s a mistake and I think that you pointing fingers at him for doing something like this is wrong,” a parent said to the crowd.

      Did that guy just admit he leaves his guns lying around the house unlocked with children in the house?

    If you can’t drop a deuce without losing your gun in the process… you’ve got a problem, and are an irresponsible gun owner. That said, the response from the school district is appalling.

      If you can't feel safe taking a dump without a firearm strapped to your waste then you might be suffering from paranoia.
