Midwest City High School Student Arrested, District Officials Say

A student at a Mid-Del public school was arrested Thursday for allegedly bringing a loaded gun to class.

Mid-Del Public Schools officials said the student attended Midwest City High School.

According to the district, administrators received a tip about the student may have had a gun in their possession. A school resource officer then arrested the student.

In a letter sent home to parents from Midwest City High School principal Leslie Berger, the student will not be returning to the campus.

Berger also noted that the student’s arrest is not connected to an unrelated to a social media post reported to school officials Thursday morning.

Thursday’s incident at Midwest City High School is the third such event in the last month where a gun was discovered at an OKC metro school.

Three days ago, administrators found a weapon in the backpack of a Norman High School student.
