An incident that happened on Wednesday at Sun Valley Elementary is under investigation by Birmingham City School Administrators.
Birmingham Schools Spokesperson Michaelle Chapman says a first grader used a syringe to stick two other students during a bathroom break. The syringe did contain a liquid and is being tested to determine what that liquid is.
The parents of the two boys have been directed to take them for medical treatment.
The student with the syringe has been suspended and will face a disciplinary hearing for a Class III violation of the Code of Student Conduct.
"School and district officials are deeply concerned by the incident. We take the safety and wellbeing of our students very seriously and make every possible effort to ensure their security," said Chapman. "We also understand the concern this has caused the parents of the students who were affected."
