BUCKEYE, AZ — Four people have been arrested, including three juveniles, after police responded to Freedom Elementary School for reports of a fight and an "armed subject on school grounds."

Buckeye police say the incident occurred just before 4 p.m. near Verrado Way and Yuma Road as school was being dismissed for the day.

Police say a 15-year-old girl, two 17-year-old boys, and a 19-year-old man were arrested. The man, Iriel Rivera, was found to have a gun.

According to Buckeye police, at least some of the suspects knew one another and had all arrived to pick up relatives at the school before the fight broke out.

No injuries were reported.

"This was a very chaotic scene that was quickly contained thanks to a community that is vigilant and called 911," Buckeye police said in a release. "As always, if you see something, say something."
