LCSO deputies arrested a 16-year-old Riverdale High School student for bringing a handgun to school.

LCSO deputies located the gun in the student’s car after it was reported he posted on Facebook he was going to bring it school.

Investigators said the suspect and another student had recently been having “issues” with each other.

On Monday, deputies pulled the suspect out of class. After not finding a weapon, LCSO deputies searched the suspect’s car in the school parking lot and found a chrome-plated handgun with a pink handle underneath a passenger seat.

According to the report the gun, a .25-caliber Phoenix Raven, was loaded with four rounds in the magazine and one round in the chamber.
