KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Two Ruskin High School students are in custody after posting a photo on social media of themselves with a gun, according to Kansas City, Missouri, police.
Ruskin High initiated a self-imposed lockdown on Wednesday. There were no injuries and no gunshots, according to Marissa Wamble with the Hickman Mills School District.
