A Boise High student is facing time in juvenile detention after police say she brought an unloaded gun to school on Monday, September 30. The student is now facing time in juvenile detention for resisting, obstructing, and possession of a firearm.
The Boise Police Department tells us the student denied having intentions of hurting anyone.
Police say a Boise Police student resource officer was contacted about a possible firearm on campus around 1:15 p.m. Police worked with school administrators and an SRO to locate the student.
Boise Police said officers tried to talk to the female student in an attempt to search her backpack, however, she was reluctant, tightly holding on to her backpack, refusing to give her belongings to officers.
Officers ultimately were able to search the backpack and say they found an unloaded handgun inside.
I asked North End parents how they feel about what happened.
“I don’t want my job to be being a protector I would rather just be a teacher that’s really unfair for the teachers and administrators to have to take that on,” says Georgia Keshian.
