Gun found in locker at Fulton middle school

A student is facing criminal charges and school disciplinary action after a gun was found in a locker at Woodland Middle School in East Point on Thursday.

An unloaded 9 mm handgun and a loaded magazine clip were discovered in an eighth grade student’s locker, Fulton County Schools spokeswoman Susan Hale told Channel 2 Action News. A classmate allegedly saw the student showing the weapon to someone.

A resource officer detained the student without incident and the school day was not disrupted, Hale said.
