A gun was found Friday afternoon in a North Allegheny School District employee’s vehicle, the district said in an email to parents.
McCandless police alerted the district’s police of the situation about 1:16 p.m. Neither police nor the district said how they learned there was a gun in the vehicle.
The employee, who was not identified, was placed on administrative leave.
“The District considers this a serious violation of policy and will pursue charges to the fullest extent of the law,” the letter to parents read. “We assure you that safety is our top priority, and we take these matters very seriously. We encourage students and families to report any unsafe behaviors to a trusted adult immediately.”
