2 Texas teenagers arrested for bringing guns to high schools

Authorities say two Texas high school students face charges after bringing guns to campus a day after a deadly mass shooting at a school in Florida.

The arrests Thursday happened at separate schools in suburban Dallas. Police didn’t immediately release information on why the students brought firearms to class.

Flower Mound police said in a statement that a 16-year-old faced felony charges for bringing a small-caliber handgun to school. Police said the gun wasn’t loaded but that ammunition was found.

The other arrest happened about 30 miles away at a Plano high school. Plano police spokesman David Tilley told The Dallas Morning News that a tip was called in about a student bringing a gun to school.

Tilley said no reported threats were made by the student.
