HALIFAX – Halifax police have laid charges against a 17-year-old boy after a loaded firearm was confiscated at a Bedford high school.

A loaded, sawed-off rifle and a knife were found in a backpack.
Police say the teen faces seven charges, including possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, careless use of a firearm, and carrying a concealed weapon.
