Gun found at Fletcher High School

A student with a gun has been found at Fletcher High School.

The Duval County Public School District confirms to WOKV that a student alerted the administration today that there may have been a student with a weapon. We’re told the school administration and school resource officer quickly conducted a search and located a gun.

Parents were left a message from the Principal alerting them to the situation. That message says the school does not feel there was any imminent threat to student safety. It further says the investigation in to the incident is ongoing.

We’ve asked for more information on where the gun was found, how it was obtained by the student, any apparent reason the student brought it on campus, and what consequences that student faces. We’re told that information is not available at this time.

Neptune Beach Police confirm they were called to the scene and briefly assisted. They can’t, however, comment any further because the DCPS police are the lead agency in the investigation.

WOKV will continue to dig for information on this case and how your children are being protected in school. We will update you as that information becomes available.
