Joy News reports that Abubakari Abdul Majid was brought in by the school authorities, led by Senior House Master Moses Amegatse.
He has been detained and is currently assisting the police with the investigation.
The final-year student identified two other students, whose names are not readily available, as the owners of the gun.
