A student has been arrested for bringing a loaded handgun to a Madison high school.
La Follette High School Principal Sean Storch said in an email to parents that after officials learned the student possibly had a gun Wednesday, the educational resource officer confronted the teen who initially resisted being taken into custody.
Storch said a .22-caliber handgun was found by the officer. Officials say the student didn’t make any threats against individuals or the school. Madison police say the handgun was loaded with ammunition.
