The hold came hours after a student was arrested after bringing an airsoft gun to one of its high school campuses. It’s not clear if the incidents are related.

Hightower High School administrators said they received a report that a student was in possession of a weapon. Campus police then located the student, confiscated the gun and detained the teen.

The district says criminal charges against the student are pending.

No one was seriously injured in either of the altercations, according to the district.
