One of two administrators who survived being shot at Campbell County Comprehensive High School nearly four years ago was the one to find a gun there today.
A student led Assistant Principal Jim Pierce to the gun.
Pierce was wounded in the shooting incident that killed Assistant Principal Ken Bruce and wounded Gary Seale.
Campbell County Sheriff's officers have taken a juvenile student into custody for bringing the gun on the campus of the high school.
The Campbell County Sheriff's Office got a call of a possible gun on the high school campus at 10:15 Tuesday morning.
SRO Michael Caudill recovered a handgun after searching lockers.
Sheriff Gary Perkins and detectives conducted an investigation at the school and took a juvenile student into custody. That student has now been charged with carrying a firearm on school property and has been transported to the Knox County juvenile detention center.
Kenneth Bartley has pleaded guilty in that 2005 shooting but has since tried to rescind that plea. The Supreme Court of Tennessee recently declined to hear that case. Bartley is serving 45 years in the case.
