A student at the Union High School is taken into custody after a gun is found on the school campus.
The school district says during the last hour of the day a call was made to the office with a concern about a student having something suspicious on his person. An administrator and security officer went to the classroom and escorted the student to the office.
Officials says the student was found to have a handgun in a makeshift holder. The weapon and the student were secured, and law enforcement notified.
In a news release the school district said “It is our belief that at no time was the gun brought out at school or used to threaten students or staff. Criminal charges will be brought as well as school imposed disciplinary measures. As always, the safety and security of our staff and students continues to be our top priority.”
