Miami-Dade Students Arrested For Bringing Gun to School

Two Miami-Dade County high school students have been arrested for bringing a gun to school, officials say. 

Miami-Dade County Public Schools spokesman John Schuster says 19-year-old Lionel Jean-Pierre and 18-year-old James Martin were arrested Thursday and charged with possession of a weapon on school grounds.

Schuster says a teacher at South Dade Senior High School found a bullet on the ground and notified administrators. Police were called to the scene and a gun was found inside of a jacket that was stashed in a trash can. 

Officials say it was later determined that the two students had possession of the gun.

Both students are charged with possession of a weapon on school property.
