Dad arrested for bringing AK-47 to school after son said teacher ‘slammed’ him, cops say

A distraught dad, who received a Face Time phone call from his crying son, showed up at school with an AK-47 handgun making death threats, Palm Beach County School District police said.

According to the arrest report, Christopher Freeman, 27, who lives near West Palm Beach, arrived at Bear Lakes Middle School, 3505 Shenandoah Blvd., just before 4 p.m. Monday, angry that his son had been “slammed” by a teacher.

An assistant principal had called Freeman earlier in the day about his son and during the conversation Freeman said, “you’re all dead,” the report stated.

A school police officer greeted Freeman when he arrived on campus. Freeman was in a wheelchair and the handle of a large handgun appeared to be sticking out of his pants, police said.
