NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A 9th grade student at Hunters Lane High School in Nashville has been charged with bringing a gun on campus Monday after a loaded gun was found in a car.
The 14-year-old was removed from class after an anonymous tip was received that the student had a gun, says Metro police.
An investigation into the claim resulted in Metro police discovering a loaded .22 caliber pistol in the glove compartment of a car parked on campus that the student rode in Monday morning.
The teen admitted to investigators that he took a family member's gun from home without permission and that he needed the handgun for protection.
