A student who reportedly had a firearm at Juneau-Douglas High School:Yadaa.at Kalé has been arrested and was taken to the Johnson Youth Center Thursday evening, Juneau Police Department spokesperson Lt. Krag Campbell told the Empire.<\/p>\n

On Thursday morning JDHS staff reported to police a 15-year-old boy was in possession of a firearm on the JDHS campus, which prompted JPD to respond to the school and start an investigation, according to a JPD information release.<\/a><\/p>\n

JDHS staff who received the initial report about a possible firearm located the student and confirmed that there was a weapon in the student’s backpack.<\/p>\n

Police said the student was cooperative and the district initially cooperated with the Johnson Youth Center to implement a “safety plan” for the student. However, the student was later student arrested on the charge of fourth-degree misconduct involving weapons, a class A misdemeanor. Police did not identify the student.<\/p>\n

The district made notifications to families regarding the report and investigation, and law enforcement presence was increased. However, police stated there was no disruption to the school day.<\/p>\n

Kristin Bartlett, chief of staff for Juneau School District, did not immediately respond to requests seeking comment. Superintendent Bridget Weiss told the Empire she was unavailable for comment.<\/p>\n
