Hinsdale South student charged with bringing loaded handgun to school

A 16-year-old Hinsdale South High School student was being held in a juvenile detention center after authorities said he brought a loaded handgun to school Nov. 21.

Unnamed because the student is a juvenile, the Willowbrook teenager appeared in court Nov. 22 for a detention hearing on felony charges of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon in school and unlawful possession of a firearm by someone younger than 18.

Prosecutors said the student was taken into custody without incident Nov. 21 after school officials were notified about the gun on campus.

The student’s next court date is Dec. 2 at the DuPage County courthouse in Wheaton.
