Brereton and Ravenhill Parish Council is writing to Home Secretary John Reid to call for a change in the law, after a terrifying attack on pupils at Etching Hill Primary School, Rugeley. Councillors say the BB guns – sold as toys – are dangerous weapons capable of causing serious injuries like blindness. They also want other councils to act.
