Weapons Found In Cars Near 2 Schools In Douglas County

PARKER, Colo. (CBS4) - An investigation is under way after weapons were found near two high schools in Douglas County on Monday.

The first discovery was at Chaparral High School in Parker. Guns were found inside the trunk of a car. Douglas County School District spokerman Randy Barber says that discovery is tied to knives found in two cars at Legend High School, which is also in Douglas County, but he wouldn't elaborate on how they are connected.

Deputies said no students were in any danger and there was no plot to harm anyone at either school.

"We don't have any information to believe there was any type of plot to harm a school or students in a school," Ron Hanavan with the Douglas County Sheriff's Office said. "We want to take this matter seriously and we need to get to bottom of it as quickly as possible."

The Douglas County Sheriff's Department is working with Parker police in the investigation.

Investigators have not decided if anyone will be charged.
