Officers and an ambulance were dispatched as a precaution and the student left with medical personnel of his own accord, the chief said.

“No weapons were involved and the student will receive mental and medical help once at the hospital,” he added.

“There was no threat to anyone and the officers were dispatched simply as a precaution,” Robertson said.
