Page-6B-THE KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD-Thursday, April 7, 1994 $n Police Report Student takes gun to school A 15-year-old Kings Mountain Middle School student took a hand gun to school Monday, according to the Kings Mountain Police Department. The boy reportedly showed the gun to another student in the school cafeteria. Principal John Goforth filed the report with police. A new state law makes it a felony for a person to take or have in his/her possession a gun on a school campus. Police said that if it is determined that the suspect, in fact, had a gun on campus that he will be charged. According to police, the suspect and his parents denied the owner- ship of a gun. According to the police report, the boy said that he knew that "two girls had it out for him and just told someone that he had a gun at school." The investigation is continuing by police and school authorities.
