LYNN, Mass. — The lockdown previously placed on a Lynn charter school following reports of a possibly armed student has since been lifted.
On Friday morning, the KIPP Academy Lynn Charter School was placed on lockdown after reports that a student had brought a gun onto school grounds.
Police received a call at around 10 a.m., where initial reports claimed students had seen the gun at school on Friday.

Students were interviewed and a Salem Police K-9 unit assisted in searching the school grounds.
Police then recovered the pellet gun from the student's home and lifted the lockdown.
