3 Lebanon HS students arrested after gun passed around

(Update: Three students arrested)

LEBANON, Ore. (AP) – Three students at Lebanon High School were arrested after police say they were seen on campus passing around a stolen handgun.

The Oregonian/OregonLive reports Lebanon High School went into lockdown Friday morning after reports that a person with a gun was on campus.

The three boys range in ages from 14 to 16 and were booked into the Linn-Benton Juvenile Detention Center on suspicion of unlawful possession of a firearm, first-degree disorderly conduct and hindering prosecution

Lebanon police spokesman Lt. Scott Bressler says no shots were fired and no one was injured.

Bressler says the firearm was reported stolen from a resident’s home a week ago. He didn’t know if any of the three teens were involved in the alleged theft.

The threat came on a day of heightened concern after a deadly school shooting in Texas.

KGW reported all other schools in the Lebanon Community School District were placed in lockout as police investigated the threat, meaning no one could enter the buildings.
