A Chicago high school student said a female teacher threatened her with a gun in February.
Emily Lozano and her family are still looking for answers even as she prepares to graduate from George Washington High School in a matter of days.
Lozano said the teacher had allegedly gotten into an argument with another student. The 17-year-old teacher told her if she didn't take her side, she'd be in danger. "I was shocked," said her uncle Andy Houston. "Shocked that not only somebody put in a position of authority would be carrying a gun in school, but then constantly threatening children with it, that's unheard of."She said the school removed her from the teacher's class while they investigated. Incident reports detail the Department of Children and Family Services was notified on May 17.
Houston said they are now seeking a warrant for the teacher's arrest. If the district attorney pursues the case, the teacher will be summoned to court.
