An Oakland High School student is banned from Rutherford County Schools after authorities found a gun concealed in his backpack Friday. The district said a school resource officer received information Friday that a student might have brought a gun on the school campus. A search of the student's backpack revealed a loaded small-caliber handgun concealed in a compartment of his backpack. Authorities found an empty holster on the student. The student was removed from campus and is permanently banned from returning to any schools in the Rutherford County Schools district. The student is charged with felony carrying of a weapon on school grounds and is being held at the Juvenile Detention Center. "Parents, we know these situations are frightening, which is why we are so thorough when they occur.
