LIVINGSTON — A gun was removed from a Doyle Elementary School's backpack early Tuesday morning, Livingston Parish Schools said.
The gun, which was not loaded, was removed before the start of school. A spokesperson added that no employees, parents or students were at risk, noting that no bullets were found either.
The student was removed from campus, and their parents and the LPSO School Resource Officer and Town of Livingston Police were notified.
