A 14-year-old student was arrested after bringing a gun to Apalachee High School in Georgia, prompting school closures and renewed calls for increased security.
A 14-year-old student has been arrested after bringing a gun to Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, on Wednesday. The Barrow County Sheriff's Office said school resource officers apprehended the student without incident. The student was cooperative and compliant and there were no reports of him threatening anyone with the gun.
He was taken to a juvenile detention center in Gainesville and faces charges of possessing a weapon on school grounds, theft, and being a minor in possession of a gun. Authorities did not disclose the type of weapon seized. Classes were canceled at the high school on Thursday, which has nearly 2,000 students. The arrest follows a September shooting at the school that killed two teachers and two students and wounded others. The incident prompted calls for increased security measures at the school, including more school resource officers, mandatory clear backpacks, and a computerized gun detection system. The Barrow County school district said it will present the results of a security survey later this month and has met with school resource officers to discuss security recommendations
