SUMMARY: This morning, Thrasher School in Prince County went into lockdown after a student brought a loaded 9mm handgun to school and displayed it in the bathroom, even pointing it at another student. No shots were fired, and no one was injured. While school resource officers were conducting a safety drill elsewhere, law enforcement quickly responded, locating and seizing the firearm hidden in the locker room. The district praised the rapid response, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation despite the minor threat. Authorities are investigating how the student obtained the weapon, which matches a firearm reported stolen in a recent burglary.

The Prentiss County superintendent and the sheriff spoke about the loaded gun being found at a school in Thrasher.
