DOTHAN: Let me stress - IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND - there is no threat at this time...
At 2:02 PM the Dothan Police School Resource Officer at Dothan High School notified communications that a person with a weapon upstairs at Dothan High School. Multiple units rolled to Dothan High School.
By 2:03 Pm the Dothan Police School Resource Officer notified that the person was in custody. It was reported in the 9th grade center, upstairs.
NO ONE WAS INJURED.
But all is under control. A school resource officer at DHS was told that a student was in possession of a firearm. Within a couple of minutes an officer found the student and recovered a .357 handgun. The school was never placed on lockdown because the response was so quick from the time he discovered the gun was in possession of the student.
UPDATED @ 5:20 PM
***Update****
The Juvenile from Dothan High School that was in possession of the firearm has been arrested for Carrying a Concealed Weapon and Receiving Stolen Property 3rd degree. He has been booked into the Southeast Alabama Diversion Center. The juvenile never attempted to discharge the weapon. The School Resource Officer along with School Staff acted quickly to resolve this issue.
