the real kicker:

"It was not known if the student who brought the gun into school faced any punishments"

Did you completely read the article (crappy as it was)? From what I can deconstruct from it is that a teacher or someone caught him with a gun and then he claimed he took it from another student, but wouldn't say who, and that he didn't turn the gun in or tell any of them what happened because you weren't supposed to have a gun at school.

So there might not be another student known that could get in trouble. Also, why would you even believe this kid to begin with? He was caught with a gun and then said it was someone else's, but wouldn't say who it was.
