Bartlett High School Student Charged in Weapons Investigation

At 8:47 AM on September 25, 2023, officers assigned to the School Resource Unit and Day Shift Patrol responded to Bartlett High School located at 1101 Golden Bear Drive regarding a gun being seen on school grounds.  Initial indications are that a high school student showed a handgun to other students in a classroom.  The students who saw the weapon immediately reported it to School Security who notified APD.

Officers contacted the suspect student in the classroom. They found an airsoft gun and a knife on his person (no real guns were found).  The student’s parents were notified, and charges were forwarded to the Division of Juvenile Justice.

If you see something, say something.  APD is grateful to the students who recognized the threat and immediately reported it to authorities.
