The two arguing students and the bystander, also a student, were taken to the school office while the police arrived on campus.
The district said police arrived within three minutes, searched the students and found a handgun.
Two students were then arrested for illegal bringing weapons on campus.
“The situation was dealt with quickly and safely,” wrote the district in an email, “and the school resumed normal operations at 10.30 am.”

Students were in class at the time of the brawl and stayed there while police searched and arrested the students, the district wrote.
The district used the case not only to remind parents of the consequences of bringing a weapon, which could lead to arrest or deportation; but also the mental health resources available to students and their families.
“News like this may be of heightened concern, especially after the recent mass shootings in Michigan,” the district wrote to parents. “While we have implemented security measures and have a strong partnership with our local law enforcement and school staff, we cannot underestimate the toll we all have on the safety of our school.”
They directed students who may have been affected by the case to use CareSolace – an online resource with a live multilingual care concierge to connect people to counseling services.
Students and parents can also contact their school location for a wellness check-in with the district’s clinical staff.
