MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) – An Alabama teen was taken into custody by police after a gun was found at a high school in Montgomery.
A faculty member at Lee High School alerted security employees after getting a tip Thursday that the student might have a weapon, Montgomery Public Schools spokeswoman Jade Jones told the Montgomery Advertiser. Security personnel did a search and found the gun.
Jones said police took the student into custody at the school.
A day earlier, on Wednesday, Goodwyn Middle School in Montgomery was placed on lockdown after an anonymous tipster reported a possible weapon at the school, Jones said. A student at the school was taken into custody after a gun was found outside on school property.
All students and staff were safe in both cases.
