Texas Student Allegedly Brings AK-47 to School

A San Antonio high school student has been taken into custody after he allegedly brought an AK-47 assault rifle and other loaded weapons into the school.

North East Independent School District spokeswoman Aubrey Chancellor says the unidentified student on Monday brought three loaded firearms and a knife to Madison High School. The AK-47 was found hidden in a bathroom. Chancellor says ammunition was found in the student's backpack.

The school was placed on lockdown and there were no reports of injuries or shots being fired. Chancellor told the Express-News the boy was upset with a teacher.

His parents awoke Monday morning to find him missing and reported him as a runaway.

The student's intentions were not immediately clear.
