BOWIE, Md. (DC News Now) — A student was taken into custody after being found with a loaded ghost gun with a 30-round extended magazine inside Bowie High School on Tuesday.

The 15-year-old boy came into the high school through a backdoor that was propped open and was confronted and searched by the school’s security where the loaded gun was found.

No students or staff members were hurt or actively threatened.

The school is asking parents to discuss “acceptable behaviors” with their children regarding a “positive school climate,” and to always tell a staff member or trusted adult when they notice suspicious people or things at school or see weapons of any kind.

The boy was taken to the Cheltenham Youth Detention Center.
