GREENSBORO, N.C. — A gun was found on a student at Dudley High School Tuesday morning, according to Guilford County Schools (GCS).
GCS officials said the student entered the building through an unauthorized door without a touchless security screener.
GCS administrators told the SRO and they investigated the incident.
An SRO quickly confiscated the weapon without incident, and no one was threatened or harmed.
School disciplinary policies are being followed in the process.
Guilford County Schools released the following statement after the gun was confiscated:
Guilford County Schools takes the safety of students and staff seriously and deploys multiple strategies to honor our commitment to safety, including encouraging people to say something when they see something suspicious. We want to emphasize that any threat to students and staff are handled with the utmost seriousness. We encourage parents and community members to have conversations with students and each other about the severity of children gaining access to weapons and the consequences they face if they are found on educational property.
