Action is being taken after a gun and ammunition were seized from a 15-year-old Carmel High School student.
The Monterey County Sheriff’s Department confiscated the .45-caliber semiautomatic pistol at school on Wednesday, along with 33 rounds of ammunition. No one was hurt.
According to investigators, the gun belongs to the Carmel student’s guardian — a grandparent. The student has been suspended and will be expelled, according to officials. Both he and his guardian could face criminal charges.
And this wasn’t an isolated incident. Less than a month ago, a boy brought a gun to Pacific Grove Middle School. The gun belonged to his guardian — a Seaside police officer.
