Loranger Teenager Arrested for Gun on School Property

The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office (TPSO) has arrested 17 year-old Denim Lusk, a Loranger teenager for bringing a gun to his school’s campus. Lusk was booked on one count each of Possession of a Firearm on School Property and Illegal Disruption of the Operation of a School.

At 8:30 a.m. today (Thursday, September 26, 2024), TPSO received a tip that a student at Loranger High School possibly had a weapon in his vehicle. The assigned School Resource Officer (SRO) was joined by several additional deputies to immediately investigate the report and, out of an abundance of caution, school leadership placed that school as well as two others in the area on lockdown during the investigation. 

Deputies ultimately found a gun in the student’s truck. Lusk was confirmed as the driver of that vehicle and placed under arrest. All schools were removed from lockdown by 10 a.m.

The TPSO and the Tangipahoa School System thank the community for their continued partnership to ensure the highest level of safety and security at our schools.
