A student told a parent and school staff that a peer had threatened to bring a gun to school, and school administrators called police, who detained at least one youth, according to the transcript. Principal Johnson said the student’s parents had given school staff "the authority to make a decision that's gonna deter you from the path that you're currently on," and then told the student he would need to go with the arriving officer.

The report came after the student told his father he had considered taking the father's firearm for protection and then decided to tell an adult. The father told the student, "Don't ever think about touching a gun again. As a matter of fact, don't ever think about touching a gun, period. Look at me. Listen." Minutes later a uniformed officer identified as Sarge arrived and, on the school grounds, read the Miranda warning: "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can, we'll be used against you in a court of law." The transcript records students being handcuffed and placed under custody.

School safety and the use of police in disciplinary situations matter because they affect students' rights and school climate, and because detentions and arrests at school can have long-term consequences for young people.

According to the transcript, a student first raised the concern with his father: he said another boy, identified in the conversation as Ty, had threatened a fight and that the student "was really worried he might try to bring a gun to school." The student told his father he initially "didn't wanna worry" him and had briefly considered taking the father's gun before deciding to report the threat. Principal Johnson told the student she had discussed the matter with the parents and that they had authorized the school to involve police. The principal said she would "need you to go with them" when the officer arrived.

The officer on scene identified himself as Sarge, directed students to stand and turn around, and repeated the Miranda admonition. The transcript records at least one student saying, "You have the right to remain silent," as echoed by the officer, and the later exchange shows both youths in custody: one student says, "Well, look who's in the cuffs now. Yeah, both of us."

The record does not include formal disciplinary paperwork, charges or the names of the school district, nor does it specify which law enforcement agency responded. It is not specified how many students were ultimately detained, whether any criminal charges were filed, or whether school disciplinary action was taken beyond the immediate detention. The transcript also does not specify whether the school followed a particular written policy in involving police.

Officials in this record framed the action as a safety decision: Principal Johnson said she had parental authorization to involve police and that the measure was meant to deter further escalation. The transcript captures parents, school staff and the responding officer acting within those immediate, practical steps; it does not record subsequent prosecutorial or school-discipline outcomes.
