On 9/3/2025 an EPD Juvenile detective was requested to Delaware School after school administrators
learned a 6th grade student brought an unloaded handgun to school. School staff was initially notified that the
student had the handgun in his backpack, which was in his locker. The handgun was located and secured before
EPD detectives arrived. The student involved admitted to bringing the handgun to school but denied any intent
to use it. The student was transported to YCC and faces additional disciplinary action from EVSC.
The swift response by Delaware staff ensured the safety of everyone inside the building. There were no
threats made to any students or staff during this incident.
