NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A 17-year-old student at Stratford High School was arrested Wednesday morning after a stolen gun was found in his backpack as he walked through the school’s Evolv weapon detection system, according to Metropolitan Nashville Police Department.
Police said the handgun had been reported stolen during a motor vehicle theft on Byrum Avenue in January.
The student was charged with theft of a firearm and possession of a firearm on school property.

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
