TOP STORY
A 16-year-old Garfield High School student faces a slate of criminal charges after being caught last week with a loaded firearm at the East Village campus, authorities reported.
The student had a gun concealed in his pants when he was taken into custody at the 16th Street school on May 6, according to the San Diego Police Department and campus officials.
Investigators had obtained a warrant for the arrest of the teen, whose name was withheld because he is a minor, after developing information indicating that he had been supplying firearms to other people and was involved in a recent robbery at a trolley station, the SDPD asserted in an online posting.
During a search of the suspect's home, officers recovered more than 100 rounds of ammunition of various calibers, a handgun magazine and 3D-printed handgun frames and machine-gun conversion devices, according to police.
The boy was booked into juvenile hall on suspicion of robbery, and illegal possession and manufacturing of firearms.

BREAKING OVERNIGHT
President Trump said China shares his desire to end the conflict with Iran as the two nations concluded a historic summit.
The president noted both countries want to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, and that China has agreed not to supply Tehran with military equipment.
“We feel very similar, right? We want that to end, and we don’t want them to have a nuclear weapon. We want the straits open,” Trump said.
However, some analysts point out that China is not in a hurry to push Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz — and continues to purchase Iranian oil.
During the summit, Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping announced several agreements, including China’s plan to buy 200 Boeing jets, as well as U.S. oil and soybeans.
