“Very scary! Because what if something really bad happened or what if there was like an accident, and they just shot up a toilet?” Cary High School junior Carla Miranda Rodriguez told WTVD. “Why would they bring that to school if it’s a school campus to learn?”
Classes continued at the high school after a code red lockdown was lifted at about 1 p.m. EDT, WRAL reported.
“There is no threat to the school and no injuries were reported,” Cary police said in a statement.
