During this, a 2-year-old boy who had just started attending the kindergarten a few days ago was found to have a 9mm handgun, 18 bullets, and a mobile phone in his bag.


The police who responded to the teachers' report immediately took into custody the child's parents, a 38-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman.


The police stated, "Currently, the child's parents are detained and under investigation, and the child was sent home 30 minutes after the incident, being cared for by his grandmother."



In Argentina, incidents of students bringing handguns to school are known to occur occasionally. However, this case is expected to cause significant controversy due to the unprecedented involvement of a 2-year-old toddler.
