A 16-year-old student at Lincoln Northwest High School was held at gunpoint after allegedly threatening a school resource officer during an interview about a robbery investigation.

A 16-year-old student at Lincoln Northwest High School was arrested on 9 October after allegedly threatening a school resource officer during an interview about a robbery investigation. Police said the SRO pulled the student aside in a conference room and stated he would take the boy's phone as evidence. According to police, the student refused to hand over the phone and threatened to assault the SRO if he took it. The teen allegedly threw a chair against the wall, breaking it. He continued making threats when two more officers arrived, allegedly telling them they would 'have to shoot him' for the phone and that he would 'box' the officers. The SRO pulled out his Taser, which led to the teen being taken into custody. His phone was confiscated, and he was let go shortly afterward. Police said the Taser was not used during the incident. During the interview, the student called his brother, who tried to get into the conference room. Officers later learned of a disturbance outside the school allegedly caused by the brother, who was potentially armed. When officers spotted a teen matching the brother's description, he immediately ran. The chase ended when an officer held him at gunpoint after he jumped a fence across the street from the school.
