The vehicle involved had a shattered passenger-side window and dents on the door above and below the window.
“Following a comprehensive investigation conducted by school officials and our SRO, it was determined that 3-4 BBs were the cause of the damage,” Kuhn said.
It is unclear who or where the BBs were fired from.
The entire district was placed on a “secure status” while the initial investigation was taking place.
This status was to keep everyone inside the buildings while officials determined what happened, Kuhn said.
The district was on a “secure status” for approximately 25 minutes.
District families were informed of the secure action shortly after it was lifted, and a follow-up email was sent to families in the evening hours.
“Our safety procedures were implemented effectively and I commend our school officials and SRO who did an outstanding job of resolving this incident safely,” Kuhn said.
