That's a very good move to remove the student immediately cause i don't understand why a student would be in procession of a gun in the first place.

It must not be the removal of the student but expelling him from the school. He might do the same criminal act next time. That kid might retaliate. Hoping the police and the school have thought about it.

The story of the student bringing a gun to school is completely false, but at least they took action quickly. A lockdown was imposed, the gun was found, and the student was removed from the school. The superintendent made sure the families were informed and said no one was injured and there is no ongoing threat. The police are now involved in the case and things are being handled according to school policies and safety is a top priority.
