The 9-year-old was taking a test via remote learning on Sept. 11 when his brother entered their shared bedroom and knocked over the Daisy BB gun, placing it in view of the teacher and class.
A student at Woodmere Elementary School in Harvey, Ka’Mauri “safely and responsibly moved a BB gun his younger brother had accidentally knocked over,” said the release.
Ka’Mauri was initially accused of “bringing a federally banned weapon to school,” but a hearing officer later determined that he was “guilty of displaying a facsimile weapon while receiving virtual instruction from Woodmere Elementary School,” according to the lawsuit. He was suspended for six days.
