AVON, Ind. (WISH) — An Avon intermediate school student had to be removed from the grounds Monday morning after they were reported for having a handgun on the bus.

A release from the Avon Community School Corporation says the school was informed as students arrived for class at Avon Intermediate School East.

Two students exiting a bus reported to a teacher that the student had a gun and was showing it off on the bus.

School administrators corrected this statement Monday afternoon, saying that after reviewing security footage from the bus, there was no proof of the student “showing off” the handgun.

Avon School Police Department officers and administrators intercepted the student, located the gun, and removed the student shortly after.

Officials say they found the gun locked in the student’s locker and was not loaded.

The school says there isn’t an active threat to students and staff, and they would continue to investigate and discipline appropriately.

Administrators say classes would follow their regular schedule.
