Woodland Student Arrested For Bringing Gun To School

WOODLAND, Calif. (AP) -- A Northern California high school student is in trouble after police say he brought a handgun to school.

Police arrested a Woodland High School student around 12:45 p.m. Friday after getting a call from school administrators about a student on campus with a gun.

When Woodland police officers arrived they found the student in class with a handgun in his backpack.

Police say the gun was not loaded.

The student, who has not been named because of his age, was booked into Juvenile Hall for possession of a firearm on school grounds.

Investigators say it appears the boy did not have a malicious reason for bringing the gun to school.
