The district released a statement on Facebook regarding the incident.
“While we cannot reveal specifics of a police investigation, we can say that the student did not display any harmful intent toward himself or others,” the post stated.
The school district said that after learning about the weapons, the “situation was handled quickly and appropriately.”
