(Des Moines, IA) — Two suspects face charges after an incident that authorities say started at a central Iowa school. The principal at Saydel High School placed the school on lockdown around 7:40 a-m Tuesday after a student reported someone in the parking lot had a gun. The Polk County Sheriff’s Office says deputies tried to stop the vehicle after it left the school, the car crashed into a yard, the occupants ran, but were caught. Officials say drugs, a 22 caliber rifle, and three guns that shoot non-lethal, plastic pellets were found in the vehicle. A 19-year-old woman is charged with carrying weapons and interference with official acts. A 16-year-old boy is accused of possession with intent to deliver meth and marijuana, carrying a weapon on school grounds and a variety of driving-related infractions, including driving without a license and without the owner’s consent.
