BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Police found a loaded gun on a student at Woodlawn High School on Monday, school officials said.

In a letter to parents sent out Monday evening, Principal Jamel Jernigan said Baltimore County Police came to the school to question the student about an incident that occurred Sunday.
