Man Is Accused of Bringing Gun to School
An 18-year-old man was detained Tuesday afternoon on suspicion of bringing a gun onto the football field of his former high school, a school spokeswoman said.
Witnesses reported seeing a person carrying the weapon onto the field at Franklin High School just before class was dismissed for the day. Students were kept inside while school police and Los Angeles Police Department officers searched for the gunman.
The man entered a building near the field, and officers found and detained him shortly before 5 p.m. His name was not immediately released.
