ALBANY, Ga. — A teacher at Darton State College made a uniformed officer, also a student in the class, leave because of his firearm, WREG reported.

The officer was made to leave class on Jan. 27 because the teacher was uncomfortable with a firearm being in the classroom. The officer, who was in uniform at the time, was escorted out of the class, WALB reported.

The school released a statement apologizing for the incident and said they are “appreciative for the service of our law enforcement, and welcome them as students on our campus.”
