There are conflicting reports on where the gun was located. Police said the gun was found on the student, but in a Facebook post the school district said the gun was found in the student’s backpack, which was in a locker.

We are working to clarify where the gun was located.

The student has only been identified as a male juvenile.

Police said there were no threats made previously involving the weapon at the school.

The high school was placed on lockdown during the investigation but it has since been lifted, Wessling said.
