MISHAWAKA, Ind. (AP) — A 7-year-old boy who brought a bag of bullets to a Mishawaka school is being kept home for a couple days.

Police say the boy told officers he found the .38-caliber bullets in a drawer at home when he was looking for a quarter. He brought the bullets to St. Monica's school on Tuesday and apparently shared them with four other students.

A school official says the boy was required to stay home from school through Friday so he could understand the seriousness of the situation. Parents of the first-graders were notified by letter of the incident.

Police don't believe the boy understood the danger behind the bullets or that he meant to threaten anyone in the school.
