Police said of today’s events, “The weapon was reported as falling to the floor in the hallway while students were transitioning from classrooms. The observant student who saw the incident quickly made notification to staff which prompted the immediate police response.”
“School Resource Officer Norton was on scene and multiple officers responded immediately to assist,” Police said.
