LYNN, MASS. (WHDH) - A school in Lynn was placed on lockdown Friday morning after one student reported seeing another student with a gun, officials said.
Officers responding to a report of a gun seen at KIPP Academy just before 10 a.m. called for a lockdown and swept the building with a K9 unit, according to the Lynn Police Department.
An investigation revealed that there was not a gun seen at the school on Friday but the student in question allegedly admitted to bringing a pellet gun to the school over a week ago.
The pellet gun was later recovered at the student’s home and the lockdown was lifted.
No arrests were made and no charges are being sought.
