ADEL, Ga. (AP) Authorities say a student brought a loaded .22-caliber pistol into the cafeteria of his south Georgia high school before he was confronted by law officers and apprehended. <br />
<br />
No injuries were reported. <br />
<br />
Cook County Schools Superintendent Lance Heard said in a statement that the 17-year-old boy carried the gun, which was inside a small drawstring bag, into the Cook High School cafeteria around 7:05 a.m. Wednesday. <br />
<br />
Heard said school officials learned of the gun after the boy's grandmother alerted authorities, saying the boy was upset about a girl and might have a weapon. <br />
<br />
The superintendent said officers were immediately sent to the school. He said the officers confronted the boy, who ran into the student parking lot and was taken into custody. <br />
<br />
The school is nearly 30 miles north of Valdosta.
