Possible tragedy avoided: School district applauds response to student bringing gun to school in Vernal
Thursday at the start of school at Vernal Middle School, a student was caught with both a gun and ammunition on school grounds. In a press release, the Vernal Police Department said the student"had a plan" and a"specific target."
He said that quick action and a trust between students and their school resource officer is why things worked out so well in this potentially tragic situation. He suggested all parents talk to their kids about being aware of their fellow students — and if they see something they should say something to a trusted adult. He also suggested all parents and students download the SafeUT app to their phones and become familiar with the resources available there.
