PHILADELPHIA, N.Y. – An Indian River High School student was able to sneak a rifle on to campus Wednesday, but a possible shooting was averted when his teacher was able to secure the weapon.
The incident occurred just after noon and involved a 15-year-old student who allegedly brought the rifle into school in a covert fashion. At the end of class, the student opened a case containing the weapon. The teacher quickly noticed what was happening and was able to obtain the rifle, reports Syracuse.com.
The campus was then placed on lockdown while deputies and a K9 searched the school to verify that there were no other threats.
Local authorities say the teacher’s actions averted a tragedy.
No charges have been filed in this matter so far.
