SALISBURY — The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office says an unloaded handgun was found Thursday in the backpack of a 14-year-old West Rowan High School student.

A teacher learned about the gun because one student reported a firearm was in another student’s backpack, according to the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office. In addition to being unloaded, there was no ammunition found in the backpack.

The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office said the student admitted to having the gun and reported forgetting it was in the backpack. The student will face charges as a juvenile for the incident.
