Posted in News on Tuesday, October 27th, 2009 at 6:30 pm by Bill Devlin

A Willow Grove man attending an adult education class at the North Montco Technical Career Center class was arrested Monday for bringing a weapon onto school property.

Towamencin police said Christopher Anfuso, 40, had a permit to carry a firearm but it was illegal for him to have the gun on school property, police said. Police said Anfuso had a semi-automatic pistol with a loaded magazine in his vehicle.

Police said Anfuso had told another student about the gun, triggering an investigation by school authorities, who then contacted police.

No threat to use the firearm or other threat of violence was reported, police said
