Loaded gun allegedly found in backpack of Armijo High student in Fairfield
FAIRFIELD – An Armijo High School student has been arrested after authorities allegedly found a loaded handgun in his backpack.
Tuesday afternoon, Fairfield police say a school resource officer at Armijo High was alerted about an ongoing issue between two students. One of the students allegedly threatened to hurt the other, police say, prompting him to be brought into the main office.
The officer soon searched the student's backpack, finding a cross-body bag inside. Inside that bag was a loaded, Polymer 80 Glock-style pistol with an extended magazine.
Police say the student was arrested and taken to Solano County Juvenile Hall. He's facing several weapons-related charges.
