OAKLAND PARK
– Broward Sheriff's Office deputies are investigating after a gun was found Tuesday at North Andrews Gardens Elementary School
"I had to get her out of school," one mother said while picking up her daughter from school
BSO spokeswoman Veda-Coleman Wright said a student was showing an unloaded handgun to other students
She said the teacher then reported it to the principal
who had the student remove the items from his backpack
Some parents Local 10 News reporter Derek Shore spoke to said they were frustrated because the school administration was tight-lipped about the specifics of the incident and just sent parents a vague telephone message
she will not return to this school tomorrow," one woman said
Coleman-Wright said there was no threat to the school
She said investigators were working to determine how the boy got the gun
It's unclear whether the boy or his parents will be charged

Plans to increase the capacity of the grade two star-listed venue from 970 to 1,600 have been lodged with Lancaster City Council
the £2.7m government-funded scheme aims to address several issues that limit the number of people that can be accommodated within Morecambe Winter Gardens at present
Interventions proposed include widening fire escapes
and upgrading the building’s accessibility
one of the venue’s bars will be refurbished
while seats will be reinstated in the circle
while the stage is also in line for a refurb
A new-build extension containing toilets and an evacuation lift is also planned
as well as updated electrical and fire alarm systems
Morecambe Winter Gardens Preservation Trust is leading the revitalisation of the 127-year-old building
The theatre opened in 1897 and hosted a variety of performances from The Who and Julie Andrews before it was closed in 1977
The building overlooks the site of the proposed Eden Project Morecambe
billed as a game-changer for the seaside town
The Winter Gardens’ proximity to Eden could be “hugely beneficial”
according to a design and access statement prepared by Buttress
as there is scope to offer “combined tickets and other incentives
encouraging visitors to extend their stay in the area”
