Lawrence police responded Wednesday morning to the area of Free State High School after receiving reports of a person with a gun across the street.

The incident occurred just before 10 a.m. near 4700 Overland Drive. Numerous police resources immediately responded to the area, police said on social media. There, they located a group of juveniles across the street from the school. One of the juveniles was found to be in possession of a pistol-style BB gun. Police seized the gun, then contacted parents. A report will be forwarded to the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office.

“We are very appreciative of the student who reported seeing the individuals with the BB gun, and would always encourage anyone to immediately report safety concerns, as happened today,” the post said.
