A 17-year-old student accused of having a loaded gun near Stranahan High School in Fort Lauderdale will remain in juvenile detention for three weeks, a judge ordered Friday.

Authorities said the teen, who has no prior record and is also a father to a young child, cannot be identified because he is a minor. He will not be allowed to return to Stranahan High School once released and is barred from possessing any weapons, guns or ammunition.

According to police, the gun, a Glock 19 with an extended magazine, was found off campus inside a car. Investigators said the school's assistant principal learned of a possible fight and, during a check, felt what seemed like a gun in the student's jacket pocket just off school grounds.
