Several incidents involving students found with firearms on school campuses have prompted law enforcement responses and school safety investigations across multiple states. In Baton Rouge, a student at Glen Oaks High was found with a weapon, but no threats or injuries were reported, and authorities acted promptly to secure the situation. Similarly, in Avondale, Arizona, a 14-year-old boy was arrested after being caught with a handgun at Canyon Breeze Elementary, with school staff securing the weapon before police arrived and no injuries or threats occurring. In San Jose, California, a 16-year-old was arrested for multiple firearm-related crimes, including negligent discharges near schools and illegal firearms trafficking; police released video evidence and continue their investigation.
