An Acadiana High student was arrested Wednesday, accused of bringing a "replica" gun on campus.

AHS administration got a report that a student had a gun, and the school was placed on lockdown while an investigation began.

A student was found to be in possession of what officials call a "replica weapon" that appeared to be a revolver. The student also had tobacco vapes, officials say.

The student was arrested on a charge of carrying a firearm on campus and possession of tobacco vapor products by someone younger than 21. The student also will face disciplinary consequences from school, officials say.
