A 17-year-old Gibraltar student is in custody after he brought a handgun to school. A staff member notified Gibraltar’s school resource officer that the student may have brought a gun to school. After being interviewed by the officer and a school administrator, a Ruger .38 Special revolver was found, prompting the arrest by the Town of Gibraltar Police Department. The student will remain in jail pending a court appearance on Monday. The Door County District Attorney is deciding if the Class I felony charge that comes with knowingly possessing a firearm on school grounds is an appropriate charge or if additional charges could be added. The investigation is ongoing, and the Door County Sheriff’s Department and Gibraltar School District are working together to follow up with additional witnesses. Chief Deputy Pat McCarty says the incident is a reminder that parents should have conversations with their children about school safety and the importance of telling an adult if they know of any potential dangers to themselves, their fellow students, and staff members.
