Police then contacted school officials, who had already issued a “secure the building” mode after seeing a police presence nearby.

A few minutes later, officers arrested two male suspects but did not recover any guns. The “secure the building” mode was lifted after the two suspects were apprehended.

Charges may be pending for at least one of the men arrested.
