INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - A student is in jail after school police say they found a gun in his locker at Indianapolis' Manual High School.

18-year-old Jonathan Gomez was arrested on a preliminary charge of possession of a firearm. Indianapolis Public Schools officials say he was suspended pending expulsion.

Officials says school police found the unloaded .25 caliber handgun in the student's locker Tuesday morning after another student told a teacher about the gun.

Officials say the gun was never used in a threatening manner toward students or staff members. Officials say Gomez didn't say why he allegedly brought the gun to school.

Gomez was being held in Marion County Jail on $10,000 bond
Tuesday night.
