NYC teen busted with loaded gun in school after mom calls principal

Two more teens were busted with guns inside city schools Thursday — with one seizure coming after a student’s mom called administrators to warn them he had a weapon, sources told The Post.

The concerned parent told staffers at I.S. 98 in the Bronx that her 17-year-old son was in possession of a firearm, according to law enforcement sources. 

School employees searched the teen as he entered his school building and recovered a 9mm pistol, sources said.

Separately Thursday, safety agents at Martin Van Buren High School in Queens recovered a loaded gun hidden in a classroom.

Sources said the firearm belonged to a 16-year-old student who was involved in a fight with a classmate that was caught on tape.

Surveillance footage appears to show the weapon dropping from his person during the tussle. School personnel later located the firearm.

The arrest was the fifth gun confiscation inside a city school in two days.

Guns were seized from students at Mott Haven Educational Campus and Adlai Stevenson High School — both in the Bronx — and FDR High School in Brooklyn Wednesday.

The Department of Education credited school officers with safely retrieving the weapons.

A Post analysis of NYPD records found that at least 21 children were killed by either guns or knives between January and Sept. 30.
