Beaumont student arrested
Three suspects were arrested at the Beaumont United High School campus on Thursday, Oct. 21, after gunplay in the surrounding neighborhood led Beaumont police to the school in foot pursuit of suspects seen running to take refuge in the classes of BU. The incident occurred just after 9 a.m., according to a release from the Beaumont Independent School District.
"While responding to the power outage, Beaumont United administrators were notified by the Beaumont Police Department of an unrelated incident involving a student possibly being in possession of a firearm on campus," the release stated. "Campus administration immediately locked down the facility and worked with law enforcement to apprehend the students involved. No shots were fired on campus and no students or staff were injured."
