OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A man who allegedly had a loaded gun in his carry-on luggage was arrested by the FBI before he boarded a Chicago-bound plane.

Officials said they spotted a 9mm pistol in the carry-on bag when it went through an X-ray machine Friday at Eppley Airfield.

Authorities would not release the man's name or charges against him but said he was trying to board a Southwest Airlines flight to Chicago.
