NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Police arrested a senior at Hunters Lane High School for having a gun in the glove box of his vehicle on school property.

Authorities said administrators searched the Infiniti G35 brought to school Tuesday by Christopher Hayes, 18, after a vehicle matching that description was seen attempting to break into vehicles last week at an after-school basketball game.

Police said administrators found a loaded handgun and five magazines.

Hayes was taken into custody by school resource officers. His bond was set by a judicial commissioner at $1,500.

Tenn. mom invites son's organ recipients to do his favorite activity, dance

Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.

Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.

Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
