Tulsa Middle Schooler Arrested For Bringing Gun To School
I heard about the thing at the Middle school today, the gun was a Semi-auto but I didnt believe it though.
This whole world is going down the crapper.
Peace
And then my cousin sned me a message saying he's not going to school tomorrow because someone sent a letter to his high school saying " Terror will reign upon CPHS on April 20th" And crapTulsa - A Tulsa middle school student is under arrest after allegedly brining a gun and ammunition to school. It happened Thursday at Byrd Middle School, located on East 57th Street near Memorial.
School administrators found the weapon on the 8th grade student. They're thankful, because another student saw the gun and slipped the teacher an anonymous note.
Administrators say this could have been a catastrophic situation. While they found the gun empty, they still found bullets in the student's locker.
The timing of this incident frightens some parents, who chose to pick up their students early.
"I got a call from her and she's a little upset. She's concerned about her safety in view of the Virginia Tech incident and I can't blame her."
The student who alerted the teacher is being hailed as a hero.
"This incident illustrates the importance of communication, from student to teacher, teacher to administrator, administrator to law enforcement and school district officials," says Tulsa Public Schools Spokesperson Tami Marler. "Tulsa Public Schools recognizes the bravery exhibited by the student who stepped forward to inform authorities of a potential danger. This type of good citizenry is vital in keeping our schools safe."
Meanwhile, the name of the student who brought the weapon to school has not been released. We are told however the student will be suspended and barred from campus for at least one year.
Two other incidents with weapons have been reported at Tulsa Public Schools this year. One was at a high school, the other at an alternative school. Marler says all secondary schools have hand-held metal detectors on campus.
