Loaded gun found in Hunters Lane student's backpack

Posted:

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -

A 16-year-old 11th grader at Hunters Lane High School in Nashville was arrested Friday for carrying a loaded nine millimeter semi-automatic pistol in his backpack.

The gun was found after a teacher caught the teen and another student playing a game of dice and reported it to the assistant principal.

The 16-year-old told school resource officers that he found the gun in a ditch on his way to school and was going to sell it.

The same weapon was reported stolen from a vehicle in west Nashville in October of 2011.
