MURRAY, Utah — Cottonwood High School in Murray was placed under lockdown protocols Wednesday afternoon despite school being out for the day.
Police say that multiple agencies responded after receiving a report of a male climbing onto the roof of the school with what appeared to be a rifle-type gun. The suspect was later found at ground level under blankets covered in snow.
He was taken into custody without incident.
Investigators believe the male, juvenile, was looking for a safe place to stay after leaving home following a disagreement. He took with him camping equipment and a rubber-band toy rifle.
Although classes have ended, it's not known if there were any after-school programs or sporting events underway at the time of the incident.
There are no further details at this time.
