According to a spokesperson with the Granite School District, the juvenile has not been enrolled at the school for a while, but the boy's father was on campus to convince him to go back to re-enroll.
The boy was apprehended after he was seen driving erratically in the parking lot. After receiving permission from the father to search the vehicle, officials found the loaded weapon inside.
Because school had already begun for the day, no students were near the juvenile when he was in the parking lot. The spokesperson said the former student did not remove the weapon from his vehicle and no one was threatened.

The incident comes the same week it was announced that a 12-year-old student at Clark Johnsen Junior High School in Tooele had allegedly brought a gun to school multiple times.
