The incident happened on Friday at the Cuyahoga Falls City School District’s 6–12 campus, which houses Cuyahoga Falls Middle School and Cuyahoga Falls High School.
According to school officials, the campus was placed under a lockdown around 11:15 a.m. after students reported to the principal that a classmate may have been carrying a gun on campus.
District officials said they immediately activated safety protocols and contacted school resource officers. Working with local law enforcement, the student was quickly identified and found to be in possession of a loaded firearm.
Police took the student into custody without incident. Authorities say the student is now detained and facing multiple felony charges connected to bringing the weapon to school.
The lockdown was lifted at 11:51 a.m., and school officials confirmed that no students or staff were injured during the incident.
