We reported last week that Ballard High “sheltered in place” after someone spotted a man with a silver handgun nearby. He was never found. Three days later, according to a police report posted by the Seattle 911 Blog, officers responded to the school a second time after students were overheard talking about a gun. Police and school officials tracked down an airsoft (pellet) gun that was dumped in the bathroom at Salmon Bay Park — not the silver handgun. Police say the student who dumped the airsoft gun said “he joined up with the Crips,” but in reality was likely not a gang member. After all that, the initial investigation into the silver handgun remains an open case.
