SUMMARY: A student at New Hope High School in LS County was arrested for bringing a gun on campus, according to Sheriff Eddie Hawkins. A parent alerted the school about her son’s involvement in a planned fight, mentioning another student intended to bring a gun. Following this tip, a principal checked the student’s vehicle and discovered the firearm inside. The 17-year-old has been charged, but since it involves a firearm on campus, the charge is not an automatic felony and will be processed in Youth Court. Further information is forthcoming.
