The school was locked down at 11 a.m. while administrators and the police department's school resource officer tracked the student down in a classroom and arrested the student two minutes later, according to a news release.

The officer reportedly found an unloaded gun in the student's backpack. No ammunition was found.

On the one hand it was a stupid idea in today's world.

On the gripping hand it really SHOULDN'T be. I wish more people were used to being around firearms, then it wouldn't be such a big deal.

Hey I graduated from there, but from what my brother says it's not surprising. Apparently its become quite the ghetto school in the area, which is sad because it was a great school when I was there 10 years ago.

When I was in high school 50 years ago, you could walk out to the student parking lot during hunting season and see rifles hanging in the gun racks. Nobody thought anything about it back then! We live in sad times.

Sounds like he's got a bright future ahead of him...

I probably know you then.
