A student at Crockett Early College High School was arrested Monday after officers found the student had a gun following a fight on campus, according to a letter sent to families.

The school, located at the corner of Menchaca Road and Slaughter Lane in South Austin, said an individual reported that one of the students involved in a fight might have a weapon. Austin ISD police “immediately engaged with the student, confirmed they had a gun and immediately arrested the student,” Principal Shana King wrote in the letter.
