KERNERSVILLE, N.C. — A gun and knife were found inside of a student's book bag at Kernersville Middle School, according to principal Lisa Duggins.
Shortly after buses arrived on campus, administrators were conducting a student search after reports that a student may be using a vaping device on campus.
During the search, they found a gun and knife inside the student's book bag.
"It is important to note that all students are safe as no students were ever threatened or harmed. The gun and knife were never displayed or used in any way," Duggins wrote in a statement.
The Kernersville Police Department will seek a juvenile petition against the student for having a weapon on school property and the student will be disciplined according to the District's Code of Character, Conduct, and Support.
