Bullet Casing Walks Into Southington School

SOUTHINGTON, CT — A bullet casing was found in a Southington school building on Monday and it wound up there under innocent circumstances, police said.

On Monday at 10:53 a.m., police received a call about an expended. 22-cal. bullet shell casing found on the floor in the technical education wing at DePaolo Middle School, authorities said.

Administrators were able to narrow down the students who had access to the area and, it turned out, a student inadvertently tracked the shell casing into the area in the treads of a shoe, police said.

There were four other shell casings found lodged in the treads of the student’s shoes, left over from when the student went shooting with a relative over the weekend, police said.

No further Police action was taken, according to a report.
