 (KUTV) DAVIS COUNTY - A Davis County junior high school was placed on lockdown Thursday morning after a student was seen carrying a rifle on campus -- although it turned out to be fake. Officials received reports that a student with a rifle was seen at West Point Junior High School. Following the sighting, West Point Junior High and nearby Lakeside Elementary were both reportedly locked down for students' safety. It turned out that the rifle was a Civil War replica, which had actually been on display inside one of the classrooms for several months. It belonged to a student who had written a report about the Civil War, earlier in the school year. Thursday, officials say he was carrying it outside to give to his mother in the parking lot when he was sighted and the school was locked down. Police arrived at the school's campus and detained the teenage boy for questioning. He will not face any disciplinary action because authorities do not believe there was any threatening intent. |
