Student brings 3 guns to San Antonio high school

by Trench Reynolds

May or may not have been in student's possession
17-year-old Brendan Tarwater was arrested earlier today for allegedly bringing 3 guns and ammunition to James Madison High School in San Antonio, Texas.

You'll notice that they haven't identified the other two guns, but I digress.
