BRIDGEPORT TOWNSHIP, Mich. -- Michigan school officials are calling it "a show-and-tell mistake."

A 6-year-old kindergartener in Bridgeport Township brought an unloaded .38-caliber handgun into his kindergarten classroom on Friday.

Police say the boy opened his coat pocket and showed the gun to classmates. One of them immediately ran to tell the teacher.

The boy has been suspended from school. Police say he apparently took the gun from an unlocked drawer in his mother's boyfriend's home.

Authorities say the child or either adult could face charges.
