Jatanna Carter and Rashon Millin shared the January 17th body camera footage they obtained from Shaker Heights Police with News 5. It shows staff at Onaway Elementary explaining the incident to a police officer.
“The police officer told us they had found bullets in my daughter’s bookbag during dismissal,” Carter recalled. “Where did she get them from? Because we don’t have guns or bullets in our home.”“She did tell us that she had seen the bullets all day, that all the children had been looking at the bullets and they were in certain kids’ hands all day long,” Carter said.
Carter told News 5 she was unnerved that more wasn’t done when the ammunition was initially found. The incident happened less than two weeks after a Virginia teacher was shot by a 6-year-old student. “So many implicit biases, so many,” Carter said. “I’m glad that she’s still 6 so it doesn’t hit as hard. But for us, it’s devastating.”
At Carter’s request, the first grader moved classes. The family has also filed a complaint with the school district. “The investigation by police and our security staff concluded that a weapon was never present at the school. As we stated a week ago, we may never know exactly how the ammunition made its way into one of our classrooms. However, students and staff were never in danger. There was no threat.
