The family of an eleven-year-old Virginia Beach boy is upset with the decision to suspend him from school after he reported another student for bringing a bullet to class. The boy reportedly told the principal of St. John the Apostle School about the bullet, but only after a mandatory test lasting about two hours. The principal suspended the student who brought the bullet but also suspended the boy who reported it for not doing so quickly enough. The parents say the suspension sets a bad example that might discourage other students from reporting dangerous situations. They may also pursue legal action against the school to have the suspension removed from the boy's record.

House Speaker Mike Johnson is pulling a government funding bill after GOP support collapsed. A vote was scheduled for today, but over a dozen Republicans withdrew their support for the proposed legislation that's tied to voter-ID laws. The stop-gap plan would keep the government funded into March. If a funding plan is not passed, the government will shutdown on October 1st.
