JACKSON TWP. – A Sauder Elementary third grader was charged with two felonies after being accused of bringing a loaded .45-caliber handgun to school in a bookbag and making threats against another student and the school resource officer, authorities said. The 10-year-old was charged May 16 with inducing panic, a second-degree felony, and illegal conveyance of a deadly weapon, a fifth-degree felony, and taken to the Stark Attention Center, Jackson Township police said. Authorities said the investigation is continuing and additional arrests may occur. The Canton Repository isn't naming the student because of their age.
