Folks at a Phoenix Area high school will have heightened security on their minds today after a student was arrested Monday for allegedly bringing a gun to school.

Police officers confiscated a gun and ammunition from a student's car at Carl Hayden High School on 34th Avenue and Roosevelt Street.

Apparently, the 17-year-old drove to school with the shotgun in it.

He left the weapon his car in the parking lot, but school officials learned about the gun and called police.
