Charlotte, NC – A police arrest has been made following an incident at Palisades High School, where all on-campus activities were suspended on Monday. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) announced that a person was taken into custody, but details regarding the nature of the incident and the involvement of any weapons remain unclear.
A witness at the school reported seeing a window damaged with what appeared to be a bullet hole and shared photos of the scene. However, CMS has yet to confirm whether a firearm was discharged during the incident. The district has directed inquiries to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD), which has not provided further information due to the juvenile nature of the case.
Superintendent Crystal Hill has indicated that an active investigation is ongoing, prioritizing communication with staff and parents of students at both Palisades High School and a nearby institution. Principal Olejarczyk sent two messages to families regarding the situation. The first communication informed parents that all activities were canceled while law enforcement conducted its investigation, with assurances that police had been engaged for support on campus.
In the second message, the principal updated families on the resolution of the police investigation and confirmed the arrest. Plans were put in place for the school to resume normal operations the following day, coinciding with a scheduled teacher workday. The safety and well-being of students and staff continues to be a top priority for CMS.
The exact circumstances surrounding the incident remain unspecified, with authorities maintaining confidentiality in respect to the juvenile involved. As the situation develops, further details may be made available depending on law enforcement’s guidance and the progression of the investigation.
Parents and community members are urged to remain vigilant and report any concerns to local authorities as the investigation unfolds. The district has committed to providing timely updates to keep families informed about the ongoing safety measures in place at Palisades High School.
