AKRON, Ohio — A 17-year-old student at Firestone CLC in Akron was detained and charged by police after he was found with a loaded gun hours before he was set to attend a basketball game, according to a news release from the Akron Police Department.
Around 5:30 p.m., the student asked to get something from his locker and was escorted by a school administrator, the release stated. When the student took his coat from the locker, the administrator noticed him “carrying the coat in a manner that aroused her suspicions.” News 5 spoke with seven teachers, a school counselor, a tutor, and the president of the Akron Education Association, which represents approximately 2,700 educators, including about 1,800 teachers.
