A gun was found in a student’s locker this morning at Wilson Middle School, according to Hamilton School District officials.

In a letter posted to parents, Principal Jon Szary said, “A student informed a staff member there was the possibility that another student brought a gun to school. School officials and a school resource officer immediately investigated the incident and a gun was found in a student locker.”

The investigation is ongoing, but it is clear at this point no individual was in danger and the student in question, including the weapon, have been taken into custody by the Hamilton Police Department, according to the administrator.

“The Hamilton City School District places an emphasis on safety and security with every aspect of our school environment,” Szary said in the letter. “We commend the student who notified the Wilson staff about the possible threat and encourage you to continue to stress the importance of students reporting anything they perceive as a threat.”
