The juveniles, who aren't students and the school and weren't allowed to be on campus, were found and detained while the school was placed on lockdown, police said.
While the officers were still at the school for the trespassing incident, they were notified about a student who potentially had a gun.
The school remained on lockdown while officers searched for the student. When the student was located and detained, they didn't have possession of the gun, which was found a short time later, officials said.
