The incident was reported to the School Resource Officer. Hayes was secured and no weapons were found.

Innocent until proven guilty. Let’s not assume until all the investigation and process is complete. We have programs in place to teach social skills and anger management. We need to keep our eyes and ears open to be able to prevent these things before they happen. However, students and parents are provided with information regularly about these issues and the policies and procedures that go along with it. Prayers for peace in this student’s heart and for the reports being made ahead of time. Yes, it is unfortunate and there are consequences. But, no tragedy occurred and that is a blessing.
