Loaded gun found in carry-on at Ontario airport

ONTARIO, Calif. (KABC) -- The TSA announced on Thursday the arrest of a passenger carrying a loaded gun at Ontario International Airport.

The TSA said the man had the gun in his carry-on bag last weekend. The 9-mm gun, loaded with eight rounds of ammunition, was found during an X-ray screening on Saturday morning.

It was the fourth gun found at the airport during the screening process this year.

Officials say firearms are allowed in checked bags, but they must be unloaded, packed in a locked container and announced to the airline at check-in.

It is unclear what charges, if any, the man faces.
