[QUOTE]GAITHERSBURG, Md. (7News) — A Gaithersburg High School student arrested on campus Tuesday was found to have a loaded gun in his bag early into the school day, according to Gaithersburg, Maryland, police.

Police were tipped off to the 17-year-old student, who remains unidentified, at around 9:15 a.m., finding a loaded .40 caliber Glock handgun and an extended magazine.

According to a statement, school staff told police they got an anonymous tip from a community member about the student possessing a handgun.

Gaithersburg and Montgomery County police officers quickly found the student with the gun and an extended magazine, the gun having an "obliterated" serial number.

The teen was charged as an adult and booked for a dangerous weapon on school property, handgun on person, loaded handgun on person, minor in possession of a firearm, and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.

Police did not report any injuries, but confirmed there was no ongoing threat.[/QUOTE][/quote]
