Fishers Police: Anonymous Tip Leads to Firearm Recovered at Fishers High School

 

An anonymous tip submitted through the HSE Report It! app Monday morning led Fishers Police to recover a firearm from a student’s vehicle at Fishers High School.

According to the Fishers Police Department, the tip was received Monday and indicated that a student might have a gun in his vehicle on school property. School Resource Officers and Fishers High School administrators quickly located the 17-year-old student and searched his vehicle, where they found a firearm.

Police said they do not believe the student intended to use the weapon to cause harm at the school.

The juvenile is facing a preliminary charge of Possession of a Firearm on School Property.

In a statement, police thanked the person who submitted the tip and commended school administrators for acting swiftly.

“We are grateful for our partnership with HSE Schools,” the department said. “Our ability to work side by side allows us to keep our kids and our community safe.”
