NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A KIPP Collegiate High School student was arrested Thursday after he allegedly threatened a school administrator while carrying a loaded gun in his backpack.
According to Metro police, a school administrator asked for the unidentified 16-year-old student's phone after they did not comply with the school's no-phone policy. The student then "made a threat against the administrator which was overheard by several witnesses," says Metro police.
Police say a loaded nine-millimeter semi-automatic handgun was found in the student's backpack. The pistol was not reported stolen. Investigators have not yet determined how the teen accessed the handgun.
The teen has been charged in Juvenile Court with carrying a gun on school property and false reporting for the incident.

“Here’s another example of a small non-profit doing so much good in our community! Forrest Sanders highlights the group Friends Life Community, which provides adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities a chance to express themselves through art. In this case, original stage performances! Registered drama therapist Sarah Edwards guides the performers, including Mary Margaret, as they express themselves through written words and dance movements. The original show is touring and have a date set this September at TPAC!”
