SOUTH BEND — A 14-year-old South Bend boy found to have a gun Tuesday at Washington High School remains in juvenile detention Wednesday.

A school security officer took the student to the school office for a dress code violation and during the course of the investigation, a .25-caliber handgun was found on the boy, said Capt. Phil Trent, a city police spokesman.

The gun was not loaded and no ammunition was present, police said.

The boy was taken to the Frederick Juvenile Justice Center, where he remains.

He is scheduled to appear in juvenile court Wednesday afternoon for a detention hearing.
