Tacoma’s Giaudrone Middle School was in lockdown Monday as police responded to reports of a student carrying a handgun, a district official said.
The school was locked down shortly after 1 p.m. after a student reportedly hid a handgun in his or her backpack.
Tacoma police responded within the hour, arresting a student and also confiscating a handgun, Tacoma schools spokesman Dan Voelpel said.
All students were safe but the lockdown remained in effect as of about 1:45 p.m., Voelpel said.
“They are just trying to determine that there were no other students involved before lifting the lockdown,” Voelpel said. “We expect that the lockdown will end momentarily.”
