The Roseville Police Department is currently investigating two separate incidents involving weapons found in the possession of students from Roseville Area Middle School on March 17 and March 18.

Thanks to quick thinking, trust built between students and staff, and existing school protocols, the incidents were both resolved safely.

"Our systems work. The things we've set up for safety around situations like this are working. That's why we were able to find two guns back to back," said Delon Smith, associate superintendent at Roseville Area Schools.
