In a statement on its website, the district said that it received a tip from the boy's grandmother saying that the teen may have brought a gun to school because he was upset with his girlfriend.

When the teen was confronted by officers at the school he ran to the parking lot, the school said in a statement. Officers were able to catch him and arrest him without any further incident.

Officers found the gun in a small draw string bag.
