“Our administration reacted quickly and found a gun in the student’s backpack,” he said. “We immediately notified law enforcement and immediately isolated the student from all other students.”
While being questioned, the student indicated he had no intent to harm anyone, Parker said.
In addition to the student facing consequences at school, the incident is also being investigated by police.
The backpack was never in a classroom, the superintendent said.
