A gun went off at Happy Days daycare in South Holland Thursday. It was brought by a 9-year-old Greenwood Elementary student in their backpack.
The center was closed Friday. Its owner and director told ABC7 the staff is shaken by the incident, in which they said a 9-year-old student coming for after-school care set down his backpack and a gun inside went off.
A spokesperson for the village of South Holland said, "An investigation is underway related to an apparent unintentional discharge of a weapon at a facility located at 831 E. 162nd St., South Holland. Due to the involvement of a juvenile, further details cannot be released at this time." Friday school administrators shared information with parents, saying in part, "We are aware of an incident that occurred at a local daycare involving a District 150 student..... Please know the safety of our students and staff is top priority in District 150."
