A Massachusetts high school student who allegedly made threats against police has been arrested for bringing a gun to school.
The 16-year-old was arrested Friday at Burncoat High School in Worcester after a gun and ammunition were found in his locker. School officials searched the locker after a teacher overheard students talking about the suspect's plan to shoot a police officer.
"A student who brings a loaded handgun to school and makes threats is clearly a reality check and a wakeup call for those who oppose enhanced communications links between police and schools," said Worcester Police Chief Gary Gemme in a statement.
"At no point in time were any students, faculty or staff members under threat," the school said in a statement.
The teen is being held on $30,040 cash bail.
