A high school teacher in Massachusetts was arrested on Thursday after he admitted to leaving a bullet in the school building's stairwell to"prove to the school that they needed to get metal detectors," Southbridge Police said.
Southbridge High School teacher Alfred J. Purcell III told the staff he had discovered a live round of 9mm ammunition in a rear stairwell shortly after 8 a.m., police said. The school was immediately placed on a lockdown for about an hour, according to authorities.Authorities reviewed the building's security footage which showed Purcell, 57, removing the ammunition from his pocket and dropping it on the floor of the stairwell, then quickly leaving the area, police said.
All schools should have metal detectors at its entrance, w emergency bracelets that connect to the local police, w video of all entrances and hallways connected to local police, bullet proof doors and windows.

A whole bullet?
This is nutty. A bullet alone can do no harm.
Goddamn trump supporters
Ridiculous. I support parents going to schools and checking security.
Maybe he should have left a stapler.
He’s been fired and arrested but is out on bail. Does he still have access to firearms? Is the school taking extra precautions given his past actions?
“Hey _______ , what’cha doin’!?”
Stricter gun law should be imposed in schools.
Awesome. Shaper of young minds. And Republicans think the answer to school shootings is allowing teachers ... like this one ... to pack. What could possibly go wrong?
'Gun-free' zones create sitting ducks.
Wow freaking ridiculous
What the heck is wrong with those people
Trying to make the point of ... it can happen here... why not get metal detection He’s making valid point. However his actions upon trying to prove his point were stupid.
This guy looks like ISIS
For a bullet a teacher got arrested? Really?
The teacher was wrong but talk about everyone overreacting! He didn’t hurt anyone! He was trying to make a point because he cared.
A White Male with ammunition in a school? Color me shocked...
The Jussie Smollett of public schools. Fake crimes to pretend to prove a point.
Well he could use 1 kg of steel to avoid arrest but than no one would pay attention and message wouldn't be powerful but bullet can be danger,if some kid throw it in fire(some thing kids did in my country during war,for 7-8 kid it is playing) or punch ignition capsule...
Self-fulfilling idiocy
He looks like a freakin serial killer...
