COLORADO SPRINGS — Evans Elementary School and District 49 are working with the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office to investigate a handgun found in a student's backpack on Tuesday.
According to D49, after school started, a parent reported to a staff member that their child had seen another student with a single round of ammunition on Monday.

Vickey says he owns guns which are safely stored and makes sure his children know they are"not toys".
