2 juveniles arrested for bringing rifle, handgun to Elwood pool

ELWOOD, Ind. — Two juveniles have been arrested on gun charges after police say they brought loaded guns to a public pool in Elwood.

Elwood police crews were called around 2:30 p.m. Wednesday by a tipster who said two juveniles had been at the Mary Beth Aquatics Center the day before and that they were carrying guns in their backpack.

EPD contacted the city pool and determined that the two teens, both males, were back again at the pool. Officers contacted the guardians of the two juveniles and alerted them of the situation.

Officers then met the juveniles’ guardians outside the pool facility and got permission to search the children’s backpacks. Inside, officers reportedly found a loaded AR-style rifle and a loaded semi-automatic handgun.
