San Diego teacher given probation for bringing gun to school [View all]

A middle school English teacher in San Diego was sentenced Monday to three years probation and a gun safety class after pleading guilty to taking a gun and ammunition to campus.

Ned Carter Walker, 41, is the process of being fired, officials said. He has taught in the district since 2006. His lawyer said Walker brought the gun to protect his students.

Walker has been on administrative leave since being arrested in February as he walked to his classroom at Farb Middle School in the Tierrasanta neighborhood. He has been free on $50,000 bail.
