Custodian finds loaded gun outside Clay County elementary school

A school custodian found a loaded gun outside a Clay County elementary school, deputies said.

Shadowlawn Elementary School principal Nancy Crowder called deputies on May 26 after the custodian found the loaded gun in front of the school.

Crowder told deputies that the custodian brought her the weapon wrapped in a blanket.

Another custodian found a black holster on the marquee in front of the school.

Deputies said there were several scratches on the gun, which indicated it may have been dropped or thrown onto the concrete.

The gun, holster and nine 9mm rounds were submitted into evidence, deputies said.
