Student Had Unloaded Gun at Middle School

MOUNT VERNON, Ky. (WTVQ) – A student brought an unloaded gun to Rockcastle County Middle School on Thursday, according to a letter the principal sent home to parents and guardians.

The letter says school officials were told by a student that another student had brought a gun to school.

The letter goes on to say that school officials confronted the student, who was searched and the unloaded gun was found and confiscated.

Investigators say the student did not intend to harm anyone at the school and that there was no threat.

Because of the age, the student’s name was not released.
