Student Gets Intensive Probation for Gun Incident

TYLER � The Robert E. Lee student who brought a gun to school in February has been sentenced to 18 months in intensive supervision at home. He will go to school at the Smith County Juvenile Attention Center. Officials say that the gun was reported stolen, but they do not know whether the student was the one who took it. According to earlier reports, the student had been accused of theft; when he was approached by authorities, he ran off, leaving behind a backpack with the gun inside. The incident prompted a campus lockdown that lasted about thirty minutes. The teen was taken into custody shortly after the incident.
