Student brings 3 guns to San Antonio high school

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. The media are saying that one of the guns was an AK-47, but the media doesn't have a great track record in identifying guns and sometimes have called just about any type of rifle an AK-47. You'll notice that they haven't identified the other two guns, but I digress.
