A 16-year-old Austin High School student accused of bringing a gun to the West Side school Tuesday has been charged with felony unlawful use of a weapon, police said.
Police received a call around noon Tuesday that a gun was on the Austin campus, a police spokesman said. When police arrived at the school, 231 N. Pine Ave., they recovered the gun and arrested the student, whose name was not released because he is a juvenile.
Monique Bond, a Chicago Public Schools spokeswoman, said the gun was found inside a locker inside the building. She said "movements inside the school were restricted" while police searched for the gun.
She said officials from the district's safety and security department were investigating how the gun got inside the building. She said metal detectors are located at the school.
