Principal not disciplined for allowing BB gun in school

The Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District will not discipline an elementary school principal who allowed a parent to shoot a BB gun in the school gym.

Red Pine Elementary School Principal Gary Anger gave a parent permission to shoot down helium balloons on the ceiling of the gym after a recent DARE graduation ceremony.

District spokesman Tony Taschner tells the St. Paul Pioneer Press that administrators investigated the incident and decided against punishing Anger.

Anger said after the incident that he regretted giving the parent permission. The district has a policy that bans weapons on school property.
