Police seek teen who brought gun to school

Police are still searching for a 15-year-old boy who took a gun to a Tempe school Monday less than a week after he had an off-campus fight with another student.

Sgt. Steve Carbajal stressed that Larue Johnson has not been charged with any crimes but said police are hoping to locate him so officers can question him about the gun found in his backpack.

Johnson is thought to have gang ties, Carbajal said, adding that he has also had contact with police in the past, but because he is a juvenile, Carbajal would not elaborate. He also declined to give any information about the other male student involved in the off-campus skirmish last Wednesday.

Police said Johnson made threats to the other student last week and again on Monday at McClintock High School, and when security officials escorted him to the office to discuss the incident, Johnson took off running, Carbajal said. He hasn't been seen since.
