GREENSBORO, N.C. — Greensboro police said four teenagers were charged in connection to the gun that was found on Grimsley High School's campus Wednesday.
Police said they are all ninth-graders at the school and only one gun was recovered. Police didn't say what charges the students are facing. Further details weren't released due to their ages.
On Wednesday, Grimsley High School's principal sent a voicemail to parents saying a student had an unloaded gun on campus. Guilford County Schools said no one was hurt and the student is facing consequences.
Here's a transcript of the principal's message obtained by WFMY News 2:
"Today, a Grimsley student on our campus was found to be in possession of an unloaded weapon. The weapon was immediately taken and the student will face school and legal consequences. The weapon was not used to harm or threaten anyone. We take school safety very seriously, and this situation is unacceptable on this campus or any other campus. The best way to prevent weapons from entering our campus is to work with our parents and the community to ensure weapons are not in the hands of our children. Please know that I will continue to do everything in my power to keep my students and staff safe each and every single day. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact my office. Thank you and have a good evening."
