A student was detained Thursday after police say a gun was brought to Barack Obama Elementary School in Maple Heights.

Officers say school staff confiscated the weapon after the student showed it to two other students, who then alerted officials.

The school was briefly placed on lockdown, but no injuries were reported.

Investigators say the gun was brought from the student's home, and a juvenile prosecutor is now involved.
