CEDAR CITY — A teenager was taken into custody after allegedly assaulting one Canyon View High School student and pointing a gun at four others Monday afternoon.

At approximately 12:20 p.m., a teenage boy pointed a gun at four students in the Canyon View High School parking lot, according to a news release issued by Cedar City.

A school resource officer, along with school staff and students, worked "immediately" to address the issue. No injuries were reported and the teenager left the scene. The teen returned to the school around 1:30 p.m. and "physically assaulted" another student, the news release said.

Authorities later learned the teenager previously attended Canyon View High School but no longer was registered with the Iron County School District, the release states.
