Robinson told officers that he took the gun because of a neighborhood dispute and his intentions were not aimed at the school. The gun belonged to Robinson's grandfather, Rudolph Robinson, 10TV News reported."He knew I had the gun. He's never bothered it before," Rudolph Robinson said. But he said he had a feeling that his grandson took the gun Tuesday morning."This morning he came in and before he went to school...he said, 'I'm so tired let me lie down here for a minute,'" Robinson said. Robinson said his grandson then quickly got up and left for school."I knew he had it for sure so I called police and notified them," he said. "I called the school and notified the principal."[/align]
