Hadavi, “This event serves as a reminder that weapons of any kind are not permitted on campus,” an edict reflecting the Clark County School District's (CCSD) zero-tolerance stance on such severe infractions, as noted by FOX5. Meanwhile, the Clark County School District Police were the ones to handle the arrest efficiently and without further incident. The letter also assured that legal actions are being considered against any students who violate the CCSD Student Code of Conduct or break the law.
