BOISE, Idaho — A Boise High School student is in police custody after bringing an unloaded gun to school.
According to Principal Deb Watts, the incident happened Monday, Sept. 30. No one was hurt, the student had no ammunition and will face both school and legal consequences.
"While this situation is unsettling, this is a strong example of the "See Something, Say Something" principle, as we were notified of the gun's presence on campus and were able to take immediate action," Watts stated in an email. "We encourage you to use this as an opportunity to speak to your student about reporting any unsafe situations at school and in our community to an adult or by calling 208-343-COPS."
The principal stressed that there is no ongoing threat to the school community. Click here to view the school board's policy on weapons.
