MANITOWOC, WI (WTAQ) – The owner of the gun that was brought into a Manitowoc school this week reportedly will not face criminal charges.
The owner was a relative of one of two 14-year-old Wilson Junior High School students who allegedly had a gun and ammunition in their backpacks Tuesday.
School administrators were tipped off to the gun by other students and notified police.
The boys were taken into custody and told officers they had the gun for protection for another student group.
Both boys are facing charges and are expected back in juvenile court on Monday. No names have been released.
