Charlotte, North Carolina – A police arrest was made following an incident at Palisades High School on Monday, resulting in the cancellation of all on-campus activities. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) reported that the situation prompted immediate actions prioritizing the safety of students and staff.

However, CMS has not yet confirmed the specifics regarding the nature of the incident or whether a firearm was used on campus.
In response to inquiries, CMS has directed questions concerning the incident to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD).

The principal assured families that staff had contacted law enforcement for necessary support and that anyone present on campus had been sent home for safety reasons.
