Investigators say the incident is from earlier this month and it involves a 16-year-old suspect who attempted to steal the cell phone of a 15-year-old student.
Video of the incident at St. Paul’s Harding High School made its rounds on social media.
The Twin Cities Pioneer Press reports:
“In a letter to Harding families, Principal Be Vang said “an unidentified student brandished a gun and pointed it at the other student in the bathroom after an altercation.”
The student with the gun then left the building, she said.
“Another student witnessed the incident, and there is a video of the incident circulating within our community on social media,” Vang added.”
An investigation later revealed that the gun was actually a BB gun.
