The friend was reportedly unhappy with the cheese sandwich served in the school’s cafeteria. “It seemed like he couldn’t get a normal lunch so I just wanted to give mine to him,” Bradford told KRCR. “I wasn’t really that hungry and it was just going to go in the garbage if I didn’t eat it.” Trinity Alps Unified School District superintendent Tom Barnett said that the district bans students from sharing meals as a way to guard against potential allergy attacks. “If students are concerned about other students not having enough to eat we would definitely want to consider that,” Barnett said.

In light of this fact, it’s no wonder that the American people were outraged last week when it was uncovered that the firm had released a series of gun practice targets featuring a pregnant woman, a child, a young mother and grandparents.
