A Pennsylvania Christian school teacher has resigned after accidentally leaving her loaded pistol in a bathroom, where elementary school children eventually discovered it, CBS News reports.

Police say Beth Jean Dixon, 63, put her holstered pistol on a toilet tank when she used the school bathroom on Aug. 25. She reportedly forgot about the gun and left.

After several students between the ages of 6 and 8 used the single-toilet, unisex bathroom, one child informed his parents – school officials were then notified.
