TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — Mountain View High School (MVHS) went into lockdown and later explained the situation following one arrest.
At about 1:30 p.m. on Nov. 10, a student told the school administration about another student who possibly had a weapon in the parking lot.
Law enforcement was called and found the student with a simulated weapon in a vehicle, which turned out to be a toy gun.
The student was arrested for "interfering with an educational institution" and will be disciplined, says MVHS.
The school encourages parents to talk their students about the potential consequences of bringing a weapon to school.
"We thank the student who reported the information right away, and we appreciate Pima County Sheriff's Department for their prompt response," said MVHS administration in a press release.
