(CNN) -- Three kindergartners in a Houston elementary school were wounded Tuesday when a loaded handgun brought to the school by a student fell on the floor and discharged, the school district said.

None of the injuries was considered life-threatening, Houston Independent School District spokesman Jason Spencer said in a statement.

The two boys and one girl, all of them kindergarten students at Ross Elementary School, were taken to a hospital and their parents were notified, Spencer said. Two children, a boy and a girl, suffered foot wounds, and the other, a boy, was wounded in the leg.

The incident occurred in the school cafeteria at around 10:22 a.m. School district police are investigating how the 6-year-old who brought the gun to school -- one of the wounded children -- obtained the weapon, Spencer said.
