Charlotte-Mecklenburg School officials say they found an unloaded gun today on the campus of Ranson Middle School. School resource officers recovered the hidden weapon underneath a classroom trailer after a student informed them about the gun.
Two 8th grade students were involved in the incident. The student who brought the gun to school was arrested by police and school officials say the second student will be disciplined for his involvement.
Officials would not say what punishment either student would receive or if they would be suspended from school. Based on previous CMS 'gun in school' incidents, both students will be back in the classroom within a month.
