A Butler County man was found with a loaded handgun at Pittsburgh International Airport last week, authorities said.

The man, who is from Cranberry Township, was stopped Sept. 2 with a 9 mm pistol loaded with 15 bullets in his carry-on bag, according to the Transportation Security Administration.

A TSA officer noticed the gun on the X-ray machine's monitor at the security checkpoint. The pistol was confiscated.

TSA officials contacted Allegheny County Police, who detained the man for questioning. The suspect was later released. Police did not return a telephone call Sunday.

Authorities did not release the man's name because the incident remains under investigation, and no charges have been filed.
