13-Year-Old Arrested In Norton After Bullets Found In School Locker

NORTON (CBS) -- A 13-year-old Norton Middle School student was arrested Thursday on firearms charges stemming from an incident Wednesday where police found bullets in a locker at the school.

Police said their investigation into the bullets found the day before revealed photos of a firearm the suspect sent to another student.

As a result, police said, they went to the suspect's home Wednesday evening and found a rifle and ammunition in the suspect's bedroom. They said the bullets matched those found at the school.

The teen has been charged with unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition. They will be arraigned in Taunton District Court at a later date.

An investigation into the incident is ongoing.
