COHOES - Parents are concerned and upset about allegations that the Cohoes High School principal bought ammunition from a former student in the school's parking lot.

School officials say buying ammunition on school property is a violation of the school's code of conduct.   

"I think if it were true, it would be a huge gap in judgment for a principal who is supposed to be leading by example in the school district," said parent John Charles.

Cohoes police are investigating allegations that Cohoes High School principal Joseph Rajczak bought .22-caliber bullets from a former student in the school parking lot during a school day on Wednesday, May 1.

Police say the former student works at Dick's Sporting Goods and bought the ammunition there.
