The large police response caused the school to be placed on a "temporary hold," but police said there was no threat to students and staff.
"We will have zero tolerance for this type of behavior in our schools, including parents and juveniles," the department said.
Investigators have not revealed details into what caused the incident, which police said resulted in the arrest of a teen and adult.
