HAGÅTÑA (The Guam Daily Post) — Guam Police Department officers are at Untalan Middle School Friday morning after a student was found with a BB gun.
A statement from the Guam Department of Education said the BB gun was found in a student’s bag.
The search took place after school officials heard a report that a student had brought a weapon on campus. Administrators put the school in lockdown and started a search. It’s not known if the search was for a specific individual or group of students.

A school aide was present informing parents dropping off their children that the school was in lockdown as students who arrived after the lockdown weren’t able to get on campus.
The lockdown was lifted at 9:10 a.m., according to GDOE spokesperson Michelle Franquez.
Gates were locked at Untalan Middle School as its administration searched for weapons following a report that a student brought a weapon to school.
