FOX NASHVILLE's video: Parent arrested for wearing ballistic vest carrying gun on school property

A woman arrested Friday morning is accused of wearing a ballistic vest and carrying a handgun on elementary school property. Police were called to Lakeside Park Elementary around 10:25 a.m. Friday after receiving reports of a woman wearing a ballistic vest outside of the school. When officers arrived, a school administrator identified the woman as Kerrie Foster, a parent to one of the students. Officers were directed to a classroom where they located Foster. They found a ballistic vest under her clothing and she admitted to being armed with a .380 handgun. Police tell FOX 17 News they believe Foster was taking a viral social media challenge seriously. The disturbing challenge encourages students to make shooting and bomb threats to schools.
