MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - A 10-year-old Alabama boy is in custody after police say he brought a gun to school.

News outlets report Mobile Police were called to Morningside Elementary School last Thursday morning after a report of a student with a gun. Authorities say the child was transported to Strickland Youth Center.

No one was injured as a result of the incident.
