Student arrested after bringing gun to North County middle school
A 13 year old Cross Keys Middle School student is in juvenile custody after bringing a gun to school Thursday.
Ferguson-Florissant District officials say the student had told his teacher that he'd brought something to school that he shouldn't have. The teacher contacted school administrators who called Florissant police. They took the student into custody.
The gun, a .38-caliper pistol, was unloaded, but the student did have one bullet in his possession.
The case is being turned over to the St. Louis County Family Court. Besides possible weapons charges, the student faces long-term suspension or possibly expulsion.
