Fishers police arrested a juvenile Saturday after responding to a reported fight involving a firearm at Hamilton Southeastern High School.

According to the Fishers Police Department, officers were called to the school Saturday, November 29, after staff reported an altercation in which a firearm was involved.

The juvenile was later found in a nearby neighborhood by an off-duty Hamilton County Sheriff’s deputy. Police say the individual is not a student in the Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) Schools district.

According to the press release, the juvenile attempted to hide the firearm after leaving the school. With assistance from a Carmel Police Department K9 team, officers located the weapon on school property.

The juvenile was taken into custody on a preliminary charge of Unlawful Possession of a Firearm on School Property. Police did not release additional details due to the suspect’s age.

No injuries were reported in the incident.
