The backstory:

The gun was brought to school on Monday, Dec. 2. Police said a school resource officer received information that morning about a Snapchat post that showed the student with a gun. It prompted an investigation between the resource officer and school officials.

The student was located and escorted to an office and searched – but no gun was initially found. Officers twice missed the weapon before they found it. According to the Kenosha Police Department, the gun was concealed in a "sensitive area" in a manner that "made it very difficult" for the officers to initially find it.

At the time charges were filed, a Kenosha Unified School District spokesperson said the student did not use the gun to threaten any students or staff.
