Police arrested a 15-year-old boy following a lockdown at Kealakehe High School Friday morning.
Hawaii Police Department Maj. Robert Wagner said police received a report of a “possible weapons incident” at the school, resulting in a lockdown.
The school was placed in a lockdown at 9:10 a.m. “out of an abundance of caution,” said Kealakehe High School principal Glenn Gray in a letter addressed to parents.
No one was found in possession of any weapons during a check at the school, Wagner said. Gray’s letter said the lockdown was lifted at 9:25 a.m. and that police and the school confirmed there “is no imminent threat to the campus.”
Through an investigation, police reportedly learned that a student made a “Comment about bombs during a confrontation with other students.”
As a result, Wagner said, a 15-year-old male student was arrested on suspicion of harassment. The investigation is ongoing.

When we allow private handgun sales on this island in stores, we must expect kids to bring them to school.
Idiot, it was a comment about bombs, not firearms.
No firearms involved other than what the cops brought in.
The sales in firearm stores are regulated by the state and feds. How is that “private”?
I think she may have a case of the scabies, too.

OMG! Not you again? Are you still confused as to who the Nazis were?
It was a comment about bombs, idiot. No firearms involved other than the cops.
