“The school’s surveillance system captured both suspects in possession of a bag that was used to transport the handgun on school campus,” the police report said.
Clay County District Schools Police Chief Kenneth Wagner said the police were quick to act, just days after the tragic school shooting in Nashville that left six people dead.
“While the outcomes were not anything similar to what happened in the other parts of our country, because it was thwarted before it happened, but, it’s still traumatic to some students,” Wagner said on Friday.
