Eden Prairie High School Lockdown Ends After 3 Students Are Arrested

Police are still determining whether the recovered gun was ever on school grounds.

Overview

  • A rumor about a firearm reported around 10:30 a.m. triggered a hold, then a roughly 30-minute lockdown as officers searched the campus.
