A student's decision to bring a cell phone case with a fake gun attached sent a high school in Tampa on a brief "lockout." It happened Friday morning around 9:30 a.m. when police were called to Freedom High School after a student reported they thought they saw another student possibly armed with a gun. That student reportedly shared their concern with a teacher, who in turn notified the school resource officer. Police, including an aviation unit, responded to the school to do a thorough search of the campus. During this time, the school was in a lockout, which is ordered when there is a threat outside the building and the outside doors are locked and everyone is ushered inside, but it is "business as usual," according to a Florida school district. Eventually, they found a student in the school gym carrying a cell phone case made with a replica handgun attached. The student in question did not make any threats to the school or any individual. "We understand that news like this is deeply concerning and can cause anxiety for parents and the entire community," Chief Lee Bercaw said in a statement. "Thankfully, in this case, there was no active threat. We appreciate the swift action of the student and teacher in reporting this concern. Their actions are a testament to the importance of ‘See Something, Say Something.' We urge all parents to take this opportunity to talk with your children about school safety, what is appropriate to bring to school, and the importance of reporting anything that seems suspicious."
