DES MOINES, Iowa — A student was charged on Friday for allegedly bringing a handgun to North High School.

According to the Des Moines Police Department, at around 2:30 p.m. an anonymous caller reported that there was a student at North High School who possibly had a gun. With the assistance of school staff, the DMPD said officers seized a 9 mm pistol and ammunition from a 15-year-old student’s backpack.

“This is an excellent example of how ‘see something, say something’ works to keep kids safe,” Sgt. Paul Parizek with the DMPD said in a statement. “A student became aware of the potential of a gun being possessed by another student today. That student told someone, and that person called the school.”

The DMPD said that there was no indication of any threats being made to the high school or other students.

The student has been referred to the Polk County Juvenile Courts for charges of carrying weapons on school grounds and persons ineligible to possess a dangerous weapon.
