(Arlington, TX) — Two teenagers are in juvenile detention for having a loaded gun at their Arlington junior high school this week.

Arlington police say the loaded Glock 26 handgun was at Nichols Junior High for three days.  Officers say a 15-year-old boy handed it off to his friend, a 13-year-old girl, and it was found in her backpack on Wednesday.

Both students are charged with carrying a gun in a prohibited place.  The boy also faces a charge of making a terroristic threat.
