WEST HAVEN, Conn.—West Haven police have arrested a woman after linking her gun to a photo on the MySpace social networking Web site.

Police say the picture of a Bailey Middle School student pointing a gun at another student led to the arrest 38-year-old Elizabeth Paris, the mother of one of the teenagers.

Paris has been charged with risk of injury to a minor, reckless endangerment and failure to properly store a firearm.

Police say the charges are the result of her failure to properly lock up the weapon. Police say a 14-year-old boy visiting his friend took a gun belonging to Paris, his friend's mother.

The photo was posted to a Web site on MySpace, leading to the investigation.
