Officers arrested a student who was found with a pellet gun at Barrington High School, prompting the school to go on hard lockdown Friday morning.
The school went into a “full building lockdown,” according to a message sent to parents from Barrington 220 administration.
The lockdown occurred just before school started around 8:30 a.m. Friday.
School officials said a group of students notified administrators about another student carrying a gun in one of the bathrooms.
The school was put on immediate lockdown “out of an abundance of caution.”
The Barrington Police Department responded to the school.
The school resource officer was the first to locate the student, who was carrying a pellet gun underneath their clothing, according to the school.
The student was taken into police custody and the lockdown was lifted.
