This is information about an incident that happened outside A.L. Brown High School this afternoon (Wednesday, October 31, 2018):

During dismissal on October 31, 2018, a person who was not a student in Kannapolis City Schools brought a BB gun onto campus as part of a domestic dispute. An A.L. Brown student noticed the BB gun and informed the principal, Dr. Todd Parker. Dr. Parker and other school administrators immediately stopped the person with the BB gun without anyone being hurt or threatened. Officers from the Kannapolis Police Department responded immediately and took the suspect into custody.

No one was hurt, and dismissal of school was able to continue. Immediately after the incident, Dr. Parker sent a phone message to all A.L. Brown families informing them of what happened. A.L. Brown High School and Kannapolis City Schools are committed to keeping students safe and to keeping families informed. Everyone in KCS is grateful for the quick action of A.L. Brown administrators and the Kannapolis Police Department as well as the excellent response of A.L. Brown students and staff.
