FORT WORTH -- Western Hills High School went on lockdown early Friday while police investigated a report that a student had a gun.

Police went to a bus stop outside an apartment complex in the 2800 block of Centre Court in Fort Worth in response to a report of a person with a weapon.

Witnesses said they saw a juvenile with a gun “slide the rack to the rear and put it back in his waistband,” said Fort Worth police Officer Jimmy Pollozani, spokesman for the department.

The juvenile then got on the bus and went to Western Hills, in the city of Benbrook, where police detained him. He told officers that it was a BB gun and that he gave it to someone before getting on the bus.
