By rssfeeds-admin A student at the school was seen near the school’s flagpole accompanied by another boy who was not recognized as a student or member of the campus community, police said. School administrators approached them, and both boys walked away quickly.
Student Safety Advisors (SSA) attempted to contact the pair. The unidentified boy fled the campus.
School staff maintained visual contact and provided officers with updates as the subject fled toward Montgomery Village. Officers found the boy hiding behind a building in the Montgomery Village area. He was safely detained without incident.
