Požega school student brings airsoft pistol to campus

A first-grade student brought an airsoft pistol with ammunition to the Obrtnička škola in Požega, prompting a police intervention. While the device is a replica used for airsoft games rather than a conventional firearm, authorities noted it poses a significant security risk in a school environment due to its appearance and potential to cause injury.

The incident was reported by a teacher who immediately notified the police upon discovering the item. The Požega-Slavonia Police Administration has confirmed they are investigating the circumstances of the event. Because the student is a minor, specific details regarding the investigation are being withheld.

It remains unclear how the student brought the item into the school or if the weapon was used to make any threats. Local authorities and the Požega-Slavonia County, which founded the educational institution, are addressing the situation as police continue their inquiries.
