A Chaparral High School student was arrested Thursday for bringing a gun to school, school district police said.

There were no threats made to students or staff, the school said.

CCSDPD spokesman Lt. Bryan Zink said police arrested a 16-year-old boy on charges of possession of a dangerous weapon on school property, carrying a concealed weapon, and being a minor in possession of a firearm.
