Students Arrested After Guns Found At High Schools In Georgia, Nevada

Two separate incidents involving students arrested for possessing guns at high schools were reported in Georgia and Nevada. In Georgia, a 16-year-old student was arrested at Statesboro High School after a handgun was found during a school safety search conducted by local police and K9 units; the student faces felony charges, and the investigation into how the firearm was obtained is ongoing. In Nevada, a student at Basic Academy of International Studies in Henderson was arrested after a gun and ammunition were recovered on campus, with no threats made to students or staff; the school district emphasized that weapons are prohibited and legal action will be pursued against violators. Both schools urged students and parents to report suspicious activities through designated hotlines and apps to enhance campus safety. Privacy laws limited the disclosure of specific details about the students involved in the Nevada case. These incidents highlight ongoing concerns about weapons on school campuses and the efforts by school authorities and law enforcement to maintain safe learning environments.
