PITTSBURGH (100.1 FM and AM 1020 KDKA) A 15-year-old Brashear High School student is facing charges after he was found with an unloaded gun in his backpack.
A staff member saw the student walking into a wooded area after dismissal, getting a backpack and then boarding a bus.
That staff member alerted police and school security who then took the student off the bus to search the bag.
The search found an unloaded .380 pistol.
Bill Gallagher of the District 6 Board of Directors says "One good thing, the kid knew he couldn't get it into the building."
A spokesperson from the school district says the student will face disciplinary action from the school and charges from police.
