Satellite Beach, FL — Satellite High School was placed on lockdown this afternoon following a report that a student may have brought a gun onto campus.
According to a message sent to families by Principal Lundy, law enforcement and school officials immediately responded to the report. The student in question was searched, and authorities discovered the item was a confetti popper gun, not a firearm. A search of the student and their belongings revealed nothing further.
“As a precaution law enforcement is searching the campus. All students are safe in their classrooms, and we will notify families once the lockdown is lifted,” Principal Lundy wrote.
