A potential tragedy was averted Wednesday after two staff members at Verrado High School managed to wrangle a gun away from an armed student identified only as a 15-year-old boy.
District security protocols were initiated after campus staff learned of a weapon on campus around 8 a.m. and staff began to question a group of students, police said.
Staff called in the full-time school resource officer. “Moments later, a student who was believed to have a gun ran away,” the Buckeye Police Department wrote in an announcement.
