Officials put the college into lockdown and detained the 2, she stated.
Then, at 11:20 a.m., whilst on campus coping with the trespassing incident, police stated they had been notified of a pupil who probably had a gun.

She stated the 2 incidents had been unrelated and the company’s Threat Response Unit is investigating as of Friday afternoon.
A 17-year-old pupil was once observed from Sky 10 being taken away in handcuffs.
“Bringing it to a school of all places, really is not a smart idea,” Chavo Accius, who was once choosing his brother up from the college Friday, instructed Local 10 News.
