Written by SOURCE on May 25, 2022
Texas authorities say they’ve arrested a student who was spotted carrying a firearm Wednesday near his high school.
The Richardson Police Department said they received a report about a rifle-wielding male at around shortly before 11 a.m. in the 1500 block of East Spring Valley Road. The caller told law enforcement the individual was last seen walking toward Berkner High School, located just a block away.
Police arrived at the scene shortly after and initiated a search in collaboration with the Richardson Independent School District. After successfully identifying the student, officers conducted a search on his car and allegedly found “what appeared to be an AK-47 style pistol and a replica AR-15 style Orbeez rifle.”
The student, who has not been publicly named, was subsequently taken into custody and charged with unlawful carrying weapons in a weapon-free school zone.
