DULUTH — Denfeld High School went into a lockdown at 10:43 a.m. Tuesday as Duluth police executed a felony arrest warrant for a 16-year-old student accused of second-degree assault.

The lockdown lasted all of 12 minutes, and the suspect was detained without incident, according to Adelle Wellens, communications director for the Duluth school district. She reported that no weapons were recovered on the scene.

Police also responded to a second potential threat at the school involving a different student unrelated to the felony arrest warrant, Wellens said. That other incident remains under investigation.

Meanwhile, the 16-year-old boy arrested on the felony assault charge Tuesday was transported to the Arrowhead Juvenile Center.
