CHARLEROI — Police say a student has admitted to taking a pipe bomb to school last week.

The student allegedly had the device in his car and forgot it was there when he went to Charleroi High School, and two more bombs were found in his home.

Superintendent Brad Ferko says the student never intended any harm and never made threats, but made a “really stupid, bad mistake.”.

Officials say the student was suspended and is being questioned by police.
