ROCKY RIVER, Ohio — A student was found with an unloaded gun in their possession at Lutheran High School West on Tuesday morning.
According to a post on the Lutheran West Facebook page, a faculty member was given a tip from a student that another student was suspected to have a weapon in their possession.
The student was approached by school officials, pulled into a safe location inside the school and had their belongings checked. An unloaded gun was found in the student's belongings.
The Rocky River Police Department made the decision that there was no active threat to safety at the school and classes could resume for the rest of the day.
In a statement on the school's Facebook post, they thanked the student who tipped them off about the weapon and the quick actions of the Rocky River Police Department:
