MEDFORD, MA – The Superintendent of Medford Schools said Tuesday night he was wrong to not report a gun magazine found at a school in December. The magazine was only recently reported to police, according to a Boston 25 investigative report . Officers searched the campus of McGlynn Elementary and Middle School Tuesday after learning of the discovery, which happened Dec. 29 during holiday break.

In a statement Tuesday, Medford Superintendent Roy Belson said a cleaning company found the magazine under a seat in the school theater. It was turned over to the school custodian, who locked it in the principal's office.

The following day Medford Middle School Principal Jake Edwards said he cleaned his office and threw several items away that could have contained the magazine, according to Belson.
