OGDEN, Utah (AP) - Authorities are investigating after a child found a loaded handgun on the grounds of an elementary school in northern Utah.

The Standard-Examiner reports officers were called to Odyssey Elementary in Ogden on Wednesday after the child found the .22-caliber Ruger Mark II handgun just outside a door that leads to the school’s kitchen.
