There were no weapons found on campus after someone reported to police that there was a firearm during the Weatherford High School Homecoming Dance on Saturday night, according to Weatherford police.
Officers took a student into custody after they said he got into a fight with an administrator after using a THC vape on the dance floor, according to police.
Off-duty officers working security during the dance at the school gymnasium were told around 8:48 p.m. that someone had a gun, police said in a post on social media. The off-duty officers requested more patrol units and medics were staged nearby. Police said they began searching the building when more reports came in of a person with a weapon in the bathroom and at the baseball fields.
The school dance was evacuated as officers conducted the search, according to the post on social media.
