TULSA, Okla. — A student at Carver Middle School is in custody after bringing a weapon to school, according to a Tulsa Public Schools representative.
The TPS rep said they couldn't give specifics yet but that a statement will be released once available.
Parents reported to 2 News that threats were written on walls in recent weeks at the school. More security has been at the school as a result.
Here is a copy of the letter Carver parents got:
Good Afternoon, Wildcats,
I want to make you aware of an incident that took place this afternoon. Thanks to the diligence of our student community, we were made aware that one of our students was in possession of a weapon. Campus Police and school staff responded immediately to take the student into custody and ensure the continued safety of our students and staff.
We commend the students who saw something, said something, and helped us to act swiftly to keep our school community safe.
There is absolutely nothing more important than keeping your children safe and secure here in our school. We encourage everyone in our school community to continue helping to keep our building safe. If you see something or hear something that could jeopardize school safety, please contact our 24-hour safety hotline at 918-480-SAFE.
Thanks,
Onwards and Upwards,
Dr. Elton Sykes
