KOKOMO — A 16-year-old boy was arrested Wednesday after police said he brought a semi-automatic handgun and counterfeit money to a school.
The boy, who was shot last month, brought the gun and money in his backpack at the Excel Center in Kokomo, according to a press release from the Kokomo Police Department.
On May 16, the boy was shot in the 400 block of North Apperson Way by another 16-year-old boy, who was later arrested and charged in adult court, according to the release.
An investigation into the boy who brought the gun to school is still ongoing.
