Ontario school in lockdown after gun goes missing
http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNew...hub=TopStories
Kitchener Collegiate Institute has been in lockdown since 1 p.m., although students are gradually being released.
Reports say an undercover Kitchener police officer left a duty bag near the inner-city school. The bag contained pepper spray, a 9-mm handgun, ammunition and handcuffs.
When the officer returned, the gun was missing.

You'd think a police office would be a little more responsible with a gun.

Yeah, Bobble, that's what I find weird about this story. She/he just leaves a gun, pepper spray, ammunition and handcuffs sitting in a bag, by itself? You think that would be the type of thing you would take with you and/or securely store.
Also makes you wonder what may be going on with this comment as well:
"Undercover police were here earlier in the day, but we don't know why yet. They were at the school," reported CTV's Joel Bowey.

Someone is going to get some serious backlash for that.

The story at that link has been updated.
Quote:
Two plainclothes police officers had set the bag down just outside 812 King St. W. on Wednesday around noon and were then alerted to some activity across the street.
"The officer had crossed the street and realized immediately that he had left the duffel bag behind on a grassy knoll and returned within 15 to 20 seconds and the bag had been stolen, Larkin said.

They still haven't found the gun.

This happens more often than people probably care to know about. Law enforcement officers are so careless about handling this stuff down here they are getting classes on how to handle this equipment. Some local forces here in Phoenix have gone as far as to institute policies that outline exactly how weapons are to handled and stored off duty. I know of one agency that has gone as far as to no longer allow officers to drive their cars home or to wear their uniform off shift (going home in civilian clothes in a civilian vehicle) so as to make it more difficult for those that would like to boost their equipment that much more difficult. The ATF recognizes this as problem and does what it can to assist in solving this problem.
