GOOD: Newtown Teacher Charged With Bringing Gun To School

[tenderfoot]

A middle school teacher was charged Wednesday after he was found carrying a gun at school, police said.

Officers were called to the school after officials called about 9 a.m. to say science teacher Jason M. Adams had come to the school with a concealed firearm, police said. Security personnel had detained him at that time.

After an initial investigation by police and school district administration, Adams, who has a valid pistol permit, was charged with possession of a weapon on school grounds.
