A school custodian in West Sayville has been fired over a comment he apparently made about bringing a gun to school.

District officials say the remark was made to another custodian at Cherry Avenue Elementary School days after the school massacre in Florida.

On Thursday night, parents and teachers expressed their concerns to the school board before the decision was finalized.

Police tell News 12 that the man didn't own a gun and was not a threat to students or faculty.
