UPDATE:
The Twin Falls Police Department is providing an update regarding the weapon incident at Robert Stuart Middle School on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.
At approximately 9:31 a.m., Robert Stuart Middle School administrators and school resource officers received a report that a student on campus was in possession of a firearm. As a precaution, Robert Stuart Middle School and nearby Perrine Elementary School were placed in Secure and Teach status while officers responded and investigated.
During the investigation, officers located a firearm on the Robert Stuart Middle School campus. The firearm was unloaded, and the student involved was not in possession of ammunition.
At this time, investigators are not aware of any threats made by the student. Law enforcement officers continue to investigate the incident and speak with those involved. Law Enforcement are also actively investigating how the student came into possession of the firearm.
Idaho law prohibits the possession of weapons on K–12 school property, subject to limited exceptions. The student believed to be involved was taken into custody immediately. Charges will be submitted to the Twin Falls County Juvenile Prosector’s Office.
Please note that due to privacy laws and regulations regarding juveniles, we cannot release identifying details about any individuals involved.
This remains an active investigation.

Sawtooth Elementary: Secure and Teach Drill Tomorrow
Dear Sawtooth Families,
Tomorrow, Thursday, October 8, Sawtooth Elementary will conduct a Secure and Teach Drill as part of our ongoing commitment to school safety.
A Secure and Teach response is used when there is a potential safety concern in the surrounding area, but the threat is not immediate. During this response, students and staff remain safely inside the building, exterior doors are secured, and teaching and learning continue as normal.
The purpose of tomorrow's drill is to give students and staff an opportunity to practice our safety procedures so they know what to do and can respond calmly and confidently if a real situation arises.
Thank you for your continued partnership as we work together to maintain a safe and supportive learning environment for all students.
