Man arrested for having gun on Seneca High School campus
A student at Seneca High School?s father is in custody Thursday night after he came onto school grounds with a handgun..
Several students at Seneca High School witnessed the incident following school Thursday afternoon.
They say it actually began several weeks ago as an ongoing feud between two students who decided to take it to the parking lot after school.
One of the student?s parents showed up.
?And his dad pulled up in his car and went up and hit the kid in the back of the head,? says Seneca student Corbin Watkins. ?And the other kid started avoiding him, backing away and he got a stick from one of his buddies and hit the adult over his head and then that?s when the guy pulled a .22 handgun on him.?
Police were called and immediately arrested the parent. There is some confusion as to what exactly happened, but police say at some point, a parent did brandish a weapon.
?I can?t tell you at this point exactly what happened,? says Officer Tony Ford of Metro Louisville Police. ?I can tell you it was displayed.?
Students who witnessed it say they were terrified.
?I was walking by and saw a guy pull out a gun and I just ran. I didn?t know what was going on,? says one student.
Police say Harold K. White did have a permit to carry a gun, but despite that, it is a felony to bring a gun onto school property. He is being booked on charges of unlawful possession of a firearm and wanton endangerment.
As far as the students go, school officials are deciding if any disciplinary action will be taken.
