At approximately 11:45 A.M. initial information indicates that a Granite Police Officer noticed a suspicious vehicle circling the parking area before approaching 3 students who were near the South entrance to the parking area. Two suspects got out of the vehicle and discharged an airsoft gun towards the three students. They then entered their vehicle and attempted to flee the area but were quickly apprehended by Granite Police. The 3 student victims received minor injuries. To be clear, no threats were made towards the general student body or the school and the suspects immediately attempted to flee the area and were taken into custody off school property. As such, no protocol was required. We are extremely grateful for the quick response by Granite Police and the administration. School is proceeding as normal.
A police investigation has ensued and this is all the information we are able to share at this time. The students involved in the incident will be facing serious administrative corrective action and criminal charges.
