An Alief ISD elementary school student was taken into custody Thursday for allegedly bringing a loaded gun to school.
District officials say the student at Collins Elementary showed the gun to classmates who then alerted their teacher.
Alief Police responded and took the weapon and student into custody. According to district officials, the student is being disciplined according to district policy and was removed from campus.
