Brookwood High School Locked Down After Student Brings Gun to Campus
Brookwood High School was placed on lockdown Wednesday afternoon after administrators there discovered a student brought a gun to school, Tuscaloosa County School System officials have confirmed.

UPDATE, 4:30 P.M.: A spokesperson for the sheriff's office said they were called to the high school around 2:15 p.m. Wednesday. She said a juvenile suspect is in custody but did not identify them. Alabama law limits what law enforcement agencies can say about minors accused of crimes and more information on the incident will likely be limited.
