It's unclear how the third grader got hold of the 0.9mm pistol, but the boys father Ignacio Galvin, 54, was later busted on three counts of criminal possession of a weapon, cops said.
Galvin, who is the registered owner of the handgun, was also charged for acting in a manner to injure a minor.

He was still in custody Thursday night, but officials said the case will be handled through family court the NY Daily News reports.
