A student was arrested after allegedly bringing an AR-15 and ammunition to a Phoenix high school on Friday, authorities say.
Police arrested a 15-year-old student after he allegedly brought an AR-15 and ammunition to a Phoenix high school on Friday, authorities said.
School officials alerted police after"others on campus" told them"that the student may have a gun," Donna Rossi, director of communications for the Phoenix police, told NBC News. The school went into a lockdown"as soon as school officials were notified of the possible gun on campus," Rossi added. A spokesperson for the school district said the lockdown lasted a little over one hour.
The student remains in custody, and the police department's crime gun intelligence unit is investigating alongside school and district officials, according to the news release from Phoenix police, who have not publicly identified the student. The spokesperson added that the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act prevents them from being able to release the student's disciplinary records.
