This afternoon, it was reported that a Broken Arrow High School student had a gun in their vehicle on school grounds. Campus security was immediately notified, police were immediately dispatched to the school, and the gun was confiscated and turned over to the Broken Arrow Police Department.
Due to no threats having been made and the quick response of campus security and the Broken Arrow Police Department to a tip, it was not necessary for the school to be placed in lockdown.
The student, student’s family, and district are working closely with BAPD while the matter is investigated fully.
Student safety is our number one concern, and we are grateful to Broken Arrow Police Department for their quick response.

As a former prosecutor and longtime attorney for this family, the public should know there are no allegations of any threat to anyone, this is a good kid, on the Honor Roll and hopefully, it will all be cleared up very quickly.
