School officials in Sioux City are releasing more information about last week’s incident in which a 12-year-old boy brought a handgun to school. Superintendent Paul Gausman (GOZ-mun) credits a tip, which allowed police to be at the school and meet the 6th grade student before classes started.

The unidentified student at Sioux City’s North Middle School is charged with carrying a concealed weapon on school property…..

The student had a preliminary hearing in juvenile court and is suspended from school. Gausman says there was never a threat to any individual student or staff member.
