A Loch Raven High School student is facing criminal charges after bringing a concealed handgun to school Thursday morning, according to police.
An early morning lockdown was put in place at the school after a student reported the suspect carrying a concealed handgun in his backpack, police said.
The student reported to the school resource officer, who initiated a call for a possible subject with a gun around 11:47 a.m. Tactical units later arrived to search the building, police said.
The suspect was located and arrested in a classroom, where tactical units recovered the gun on his person, police said. The lockdown was lifted at around 12:30 p.m.
