The Education Ministry has issued a stern warning to all students who are in possession of dangerous weapons such as guns.

Interim Minister for Education Filipe Bole said they will not condone the possession of guns or any weapon that could injure or even cause death in schools.

Bole said in the wake of a teenage gunman shooting in a school in Germany this week, they will not tolerate any student found with a possession of dangerous weapons.

Police are still trying to establish the finer details of the 16 year old boy with a hand pistol that was found at a Vocational School in Vatuwaqa, Wednesday afternoon.

Spokesperson Atunaisa Sokomuri said they are trying to establish whether the 16 year old boy, who was found in possession of the hand gun, has any family members who are part of the armed forces.

He confirmed that the boy took the hand gun from his home in Cunningham and brought it to school.
