KINGMAN, Ariz. — Kingman High School was placed on lockdown Thursday morning as police investigate unconfirmed reports of an armed individual.
The Mohave County Sheriff's Office advised the public to stay away from the 4100 block of Bank Street while the lockdown is in effect.
The Kingman Unified School District said the lockdown was initiated after a phone call was made stating a gun may have been seen in one part of the school. No shots had been fired and no guns were found on campus, the school district said.
A student is being questioned by law enforcement regarding the phone call, the district said.
"We need to and will launch a call to action campaign with students on our campuses and within the community to change this culture of disruption and to let anyone who considers disrupting our schools know that it will not be tolerated and will be met with legal consequences," the district wrote in a statement.
This is a developing story and updates will be published as they become available.
