A teen has been charged in Monday's incident at Lockport High in which a small explosion set off a toxic cloud of smoke. According to the Trib, the 15-year-old "was charged as a juvenile with unlawful possession of a weapon, reckless conduct and unlawful possession of an explosive device." The maximum jail time the teen would serve is six years since state law prohibits juveniles from serving time past the age of 21. Meanwhile, there's no word if the Monday incident was connected to Tuesday's bomb threat which also shut down the school. WBBM has more on the story, including parents' reactions.
