PALO ALTO – Police last week cited a 15-year-old girl for bringing a weapon to Palo Alto High School.
On Friday, school administrators reported that a student had posted pictures of her holding a handgun on Instagram and possibly brought the weapon onto the campus in the past, according to the Palo Alto Police Department.
An investigation confirmed that the teen had uploaded two images, one of them in December 2022, police said in a statement Monday, adding that both pictures were later deleted.
Based on interviews with the student and others, investigators concluded that the weapon may have been an Airsoft gun that belonged to a relative and
