Falmouth High Freshman Arrested For Bringing Gun To School

FALMOUTH (CBS) - A student was arrested Friday morning for bringing an unloaded gun to school on the Cape.

Investigators say the 15-year-old freshman at Falmouth High School was carrying a .38 caliber pistol and bragging about having it.

The student did not have any ammunition with him at the time of the arrest.

Police say the student took the gun from a relative's weapon storage area without permission.

That relative's license to carry firearms has been suspended, pending the outcome of the investigation.
