This happened just before school let out on Monday, so at least there wasn't much left of the day (I guess?).
The police are calling this "unfortunate and embarrassing," but that's not even the half of it. It's a lost gun on school property.
More from that story above:
Authorities say hallway surveillance images indicate that a limited number of people entered the restroom, but authorities have still not been able to track down the firearm.
So today's classes are canceled.
Fortunately, it's both Cinco de Mayo and Taco Tuesday, so at least somewhere in the Chicago burbs there's a kid eating tacos at a Mexican joint shooting off a pistol like Yosemite Sam as he loads them up with hot sauce.
Let's just hope they've got some of those churro donuts for the officer who lost the gun so he'll coincidentally be there too, and we can be done with the search.
Seriously, though, I hope this thing turns up.
