Monmouth Police detained a 17-year old male student for bringing what turned out to be a pellet gun to school.
The juvenile was a student at Regional Office of Education’s Regional Alternative Education Services program in Monmouth, which shares a building with Monmouth-Roseville District 238’s administrative office.
According to The Register Mail no shots were fired and no one was injured.
Monmouth Police responded to the school after the RAES principal noticed that the student had what appeared to be a pistol.
This is incident is particularly startling after a 17 were killed in a Florida high school just the previous day.
