The Banner Staff The Duncan Banner

BRAY — A 13-year-old boy was arrested at Bray-Doyle Public School Tuesday, by the Stephens County Sheriff’s Department, after the boy allegedly brought a loaded pistol to the school.

Sheriff Wayne McKinney said the incident is still under investigation, but his concern was that the young boy also allegedly brought an extra magazine clip.

The juvenile is being held at the Community Intervention Center in Duncan and authorities are working on a transfer to the juvenile detention facility in Lawton, McKinney said.
