Serious incident at Central High resolved without incident
Around 10 o'clock this morning, school officials searched a student's locker and found a handgun inside a backpack in a locker at Central high school. The student was immediately detained by school security officers and Muncie Police was called to the scene. Police took the student into custody without incident and are now conducting a full investigation.
We applaud the proactive actions of our school security officers, the school administration team and the immediate response from the Muncie Police Department. While this is a serious incident, there was relatively little disruption to the school day. A soft lockdown, which prohibits anyone from entering or exiting the building, lasted about an hour before school officials and Muncie Police determined there was no other safety concern and that the building could be reopened.
