Middletown High School Lockdown After Gun Discovery

0:00It's April 8th. Welcome in. This is Hartford News Today, where local news meets AI. I'm Cory with the story. A student at Middletown High School got caught with an unloaded gun in his backpack this Wednesday, prompting a quit police response around 10 a.m. Officers locked down the school with a shelter-in-place order after a tip about a possible weapon, and they secured the firearm without any issues. No signs of threats to kids or teachers turned up in the initial check, so classes got back on track pretty fast, and cops stuck around just to be. Safe. Parents didn't need to rush in early for pickup, keeping things calm while everyone focused on normal dismissal. Police are still digging deeper alongside school leaders, promising more updates to keep the spot safe for all.
