"Our Shelby County school security team were contacted as well as local law enforcement. They're handling the investigation. From what we've heard, there's no evidence of harmful intent."It's unclear where the boy, who was not identified, got the gun.</span></div><div style="margin:12px 0px;padding:0px;"><span style="">He will be disciplined "in accordance with the state's zero tolerance policy" for weapons, according to a statement from school officials.
