A woman in Norristown, Pennsylvania, was arrested after her 6-year-old son brought a gun to his elementary school, prosecutors said.

Jasmin Devlin, 30, turned herself in Tuesday and has been arraigned on charges of felony endangering the welfare of a child and reckless endangerment for failing to secure a firearm in her home, the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office said in a news release. It is unclear if Devlin currently has an attorney.

Police were alerted to the gun at Joseph K. Gotwals Elementary School on February 9 after a group of students on a school bus with the 6-year-old that morning told the school’s secretary he showed them the weapon and bullets.
