Unloaded Gun Found In Westdale Middle 7th Grader's Backpack

Two seventh graders are facing charges after bringing an unloaded gun to school.

Police say an anonymous student at Westdale Middle School told a school administrator that a 14-year-old student was carrying a gun in their backpack.

When the administrator discovered the gun, the student then claimed the firearm belonged to another 13-year-old student who claimed he took it from home.

The East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's office says both students are being charged with illegally carrying a firearm on school property and firearm free zone.
