A 12-year-old boy in Michigan carried a gun to school. Situations like this tend to end tragically, and a fellow schoolmate who is 1 year younger didn’t wait to find out, so he took the gun, disassembled it, and was rewarded with an expulsion from his school.
The mother of the boy who disassembled the gun, Savitra McClurkin, said she considers her son’s actions heroic. McClurkin’s son was enrolled in Dwight Rich School of Arts up until May 2025, and on a fateful day he saw a classmate come to school brandishing a gun — he chose not to run but to disassemble the gun in his attempt to help his classmates.
