were called to the school for reports of a weapon being shown. The school resource deputies responded initially, and the school went into lockdown.
The student was soon located on the second floor and detained. No firearm was found on the child, but the school remained in lockdown while deputies searched. K9 Brix was called in to help with the search. He was able to track a scent to the second floor bathroom, specifically, a garbage can. Buchanan's father, Jason, heard about the incident. He is one of the many concerned, particularly regarding the airsoft guns that look so real."If I can't tell it's a firearm or not, I have to treat it like it's real," said Sgt. Darren Moss with the Pierce County Sheriff's Department.
