BOISE SCHOOL DISTRICT SUSPENDS STUDENT FOR GUN OFF CAMPUS, CREATING A 'SHELTER IN PLACE'

There Was No Evidence Of A Threat, And The Student Was Found To Have Not Broken Any Laws, According To The Boise Police Department

BOISE, Idaho — The Boise School District suspended 18-year-old Boise High School senior Daniel Dougherty for four days after causing a disturbance that led to a school-wide shelter in place, according to the Dougherty's family.

Dougherty showed police to his truck, parked off-campus near the corner of North 14th Street and West State Street, where his handgun was locked away. There was no evidence of a threat or that Dougherty broke any laws, according to Williams.

The district originally suspended Dougherty for nine days and barred him from walking at graduation, according to his mother Jessica Dougherty. The district later reduced Daniel's punishment and will allow him to walk in the graduation ceremony.
