The charge specifically mentions a handgun, but a witness also recalled seeing some of the suspects in a car with an assault-style rifle after classes ended for the day Wednesday at Lee’s Summit High School. The witness also told police that he saw Nicholson threaten a person.

Lee’s Summit police later tracked down the car at a home and found the AR-15 rifle and other weapons.
