Chicago police officers responded to a call of a person with a gun around 10 a.m. Wednesday at Leif Ericson Elementary Scholastic Academy, at 3600 W. 5th Av.
Police said a male student brought a gun to the school and showed it to several classmates. The student's guardian told police the legally-owned gun was taken out of their home without permission.
No one was injured, and police said school officials told them "the incident would be handled administratively."
