Police say gun at school was stolen

By ASSOCIATED PRESS Wednesday, April 22, 2009 - 8:01 a.m.

MONROE, Wis. (AP) — Investigators say a shotgun brought to Monroe High School by a 16-year-old student was stolen.

Green County sheriff's deputies say the gun was taken from a building in Cadiz Springs Township last week.

The male student appeared in Green County juvenile court Tuesday following his arrest Monday for possessing a gun on school property.

Two students told school staff about the gun, which was unloaded and in a gun case in the student's vehicle.

Police Chief Fred Kelley says the gun was never brought into school and there were no threats made.

Suggest removal

I hope this is not a case of Zero Tolerance striking again, i.e. if this was a mistake leaving the gun in the gun rack as opposed to something less innocent... interesting wrinkle that the gun is stolen...
