Re: Officers Seeking Student after he Points Gun at Fellow Student on Campus.

Detectives and Patrol Officers of the Texarkana Arkansas Police Department are looking for a 16 year-old male juvenile that threatened and pointed a gun at another student at school. A warrant for felony Aggravated Assault and Possession of a Prohibited Weapon on School Property has been issued for the 16 year-old student.

This morning at 9:00am students alerted school faculty and officers at Arkansas High School of an altercation between two students that occurred on the parking lot of the school on Tuesday the 22nd. According to the students, one student pointed a gun at another while they argued. The student that allegedly produced the gun had been suspended earlier in the day for discipline problems while already attending “in school suspension.”

According to reports the suspect was in a vehicle when he pointed a handgun at another student during an argumentative exchange. Another individual in the vehicle with the suspect forced the gun down before the suspect exited the vehicle and left on foot.
