ABERDEEN, Miss. (WCBI)- An Aberdeen Middle schooler is accused of bringing a loaded gun to school, now his father in jail facing charges.

Monroe County Sheriff Cecil Cantrell, says Tony Strong is charged with Possession of a Weapon by a Felon.

Cantrell says the school resource officer at Belle-Shivers Middle School got a tip about the gun.

Deputies responded to the school and say the gun was found and loaded.
