The Woodruff High School student accused of bringing a gun to school is out of jail.

Victor Simmons' family posted the necessary five thousand dollars this morning.

Community members collected nearly $1,700 of bail money last night at a church forum. A local pastor also donated more than a thousand dollars.

Simmons has been in jail for more than a month after police said they found a handgun and ammunition in his Woodruff High locker.

Simmons faces a felony charge of unlawful use of a weapon.
