LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — The Lincoln Police Department is investigating after a disassembled gun was found in a student’s bag at Lincoln Southeast High School on Tuesday.

According to Lincoln Public Schools, a parent found a disassembled weapon in their Southeast student’s backpack that was located in the parent’s car.

The gun was immediately turned over to a nearby School Resource Officer.
