Parents disarm son who took guns to US school

Police said two fast-acting Utah parents disarmed their 15-year-old son in the hallway of a Utah junior high school on Thursday after the teenager brought the family's shotgun and handgun to school, discharging at least one round without injuring anyone.

Bountiful Police Chief Tom Ross said the boy's mother and father became concerned about their son on Thursday morning.

They went to Mueller Park Junior High in the northern Utah city of Bountiful when they noticed a handgun and shotgun were missing from their home. Ross said the parents confronted their son in a school hallway and disarmed him.

Police were still trying to learn whether the student intentionally fired the gun or if the weapon went off accidentally while the parents intervened.
