A lockdown was lifted at a middle school in Palm Beach Gardens Wednesday after school district police discovered that the gun they were looking on was a toy.
A student brought a NERF gun onto campus at Howell Watkins Middle.
In an email sent out to parents, the principal said that police officers were notified of a potential weapon.
The School District says disciplinary action may be taken against any student who violates its Zero Tolerance Policy. Administrators urge parents to randomly check their child's backpack and to remind them that some items may be inappropriate at school.
