Officers responded to the school and, working with school staff, reviewed surveillance cameras before determining the student was not inside the high school building.

The student was later located in a vehicle in the school’s north parking lot, police said. Authorities recovered a handgun from the vehicle, and the student was taken into custody without incident.

Police identified the student as Gavin Bohannan, a senior at Dewey High School.

Gray said there was no immediate threat made against the school.

“We are thankful for the staff of Dewey Public Schools and the community for their continued cooperation,” Gray said.
