YOUNGTOWN, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities say a 16-year-old boy has been arrested for allegedly bringing a loaded gun to his high school and threatening another student.
Maricopa County Sheriff's officials say the teen was taken into custody Tuesday afternoon after he exited a school bus.

The younger boy went home and told his mother, who notified authorities.
