Two students were arrested after Clark County School District Police found them trying to bring a handgun onto the Legacy High School campus about 7 a.m. Thursday, said Lt. Ken Young.
The handgun was confiscated and the two students, a 14- and a 16-year-old, were charged with possession of a dangerous weapon on school property, Young said. Their names were withheld by police.

Young said police confronted the students after receiving a tip Wednesday night. The tip only mentioned that the two students would have a handgun with them.
There was no altercation and the school was not put in lockdown because the arrests happened before classes started.
This is the 14th gun confiscated at Clark County schools this year, Young said.
More than a dozen BB guns have also been confiscated, he said.
