According to official information, the dogs and their handlers are trained to detect explosives and firearms, even when hidden, providing an additional tool to prevent emergencies.

Leroy Hutchins, a member of the Cobb County School Board and father of two Pebblebrook High School students, said the incident demonstrated the effectiveness of the protocols implemented at the school.

“We have put different safety measures and levels of support in place to keep our kids safe. Today we saw how they worked,” he told FOX 5.

Hutchins reminded that one of the most important prevention strategies is active community collaboration under the motto “If you see something, say something.”

Ongoing Investigation and Next Steps

“That’s what happened today. Someone reported what they observed, and thanks to that, a quick response was possible. The students are safe, and the reaction was immediate,” he emphasized.

Although the Pebblebrook High School episode caused alarm among students and parents, the school district highlighted that the swift action of the authorities prevented a situation of greater risk.

The investigation into the origin of the altercation and the alleged presence of the gun remains ongoing.

Meanwhile, the district reiterated its commitment to continue strengthening security with technological resources, specialized K-9 units, and the cooperation of the entire educational community.
