SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) – Authorities have confiscated an unloaded handgun from the backpack of a student at a Springfield high school.
The Springfield News-Leader reports the weapon was seized Tuesday after
officials at Kickapoo High School received a tip.
Springfield school district spokesman Stephen Hall says the student had no
ammunition, and the weapon wasn’t presented in a “threatening manner.” He said he had no information about why the student had the weapon at school. An investigation is ongoing.
