UPDATE: HE IS FROM ANOTHER SCHOOL AND CAME IN WITH OTHER STUDENTS DURING THE MORNING.
That information is from this response a parent got from the school:
"The individual in question is a high school student from another school and brought an LHS student to school for the graduation practice. While in the parking lot the individual was not feeling well and went to the building seeking medical help. He entered with the other students coming in for graduation practice and found his way to the nurses’ office, where the entire incident was contained. Once the nurse, Officer Deakin and I assessed the situation, we called 911 and other law enforcement officials came to the school and worked with the individual from there. I hope this provides more information and I hope you have a great holiday weekend."
MORE QUESTIONS
The responses are leading to more questions from parents. There are reports the student was in the library of the school rather than walking to the nurse's office from the parking lot. We have been told he was never in the library.
There are also reports that the student was yelling and that it caused fear among LHS students. We are now told that the yelling came from a different student and was not related to this incident.
Several parents have stated that doors are frequently left open or unlocked at the school, especially by the pool.

________________
All we know at this point is what the principal sent parents and what was in the school newspaper blurb.
After Tuesday's shooting at the elementary school in Texas, where the shooter entered through a door that was propped open, parents want to know how this person got in Lafayette.
Based on the language in what was sent out, the person does not appear to be a student or parent.
The school's newspaper put a blurb on Facebook that said an unidentified person was found inside the school.
In an email sent to parents, school principal Karen Calcaterra said the person appeared to be impaired, had dropped off a friend at school, and, was taken into police custody.
This is a developing story.
