13-Year-Old Middle School Boy Caught With Handgun

A metal detector has caught a 13-year old boy trying to take a loaded handgun into a Kansas City middle school.  A security officer found the 38-caliber gun in the boy’s sock.  The boy has told police he was holding the gun for somebody else. He’s in juvenile custody and will be suspended at least one calendar year or expelled–although the school board can change the punishment. School officials say the boy has no previous record of problems.
