An Atlanta Public Schools police officer and a staff administrator found and searched the student and discovered the weapon. Parents, students and school staff were informed between 4 and 5 p.m..
This is the second time in the past three months that a student has brought a weapon to school. On Sept. 5, another student was arrested after bringing a handgun and marijuana to school.
